Beetroot, chive and goat’s cheese frittata

This is the perfect go to recipe to impress at a picnic or take with you when you travelling and want to eat homemade healthy food. Multi-coloured beets works well here, if you have some.
The original recipe asks for “2 plump cloves smoked garlic, peeled”. We didn’t have it so just added a bit of Garlic Powder and that did the trick.

  • Butter a tray of approx.. 20 x 30 cm (4 cm deep) with the butter.
  • Start layering all the ingredients stating with the beetroot slices, then dollops of goats cheese and finally 1/3 of the egg mix. Repeat until all the ingredients finish, ending with the goats cheese and egg in the last layer.
