While I took a quick shower, a cute little mouse decided to taste the new biscuits. :P

Pumpkin & Spinach Frittata

Lunch is a really quick affair as I am working from home so a veggie frittata is the perfect solution for all !

I opted for the easy method of stove top cooking instead of baking which will give a nice brown cheese crust with a handful of cheese added before it goes into the oven .

Pumpkin & Spinach Frittata 

Ingredients

2  eggs

1 cup chopped spinach

1/2 cup chopped pumpkin

1 spring onion (chopped)

1 garlic

1/2 small onion

Handful of parsley (chopped)

1/4 cup grated cheddar

1/2 tbsp plain flour 

1 tbsp fresh milk

Method 

Lightly whisk the egg, cheddar, milk and flour in a bowl and set aside.

Stir fry the onion, garlic till fragrant, add in the pumpkin and cook till it softens slightly.

Add in the spring onion and spinach and mix well.

Add in the egg mixture, covering all the vegetable and cook at medium low temperature till the frittata is cooked.

Serve and enjoy!

Potato in Cheese Sauce

Another easy and fuss free meal that I whip up after a late night in the office.

Potato in Cheese Sauce 

Ingredients

1 potato (steamed and sliced)

1/2 cup fresh milk 

1 tbsp cheddar cheese 

1/2 tsp corn flour (for thickening)

Pinch of black pepper 

Olive oil

Method 

Heat olive oil in a pan and add in garlic. Once it starts to fragrance, add in milk and potato and let it simmer for a while.

Once the potato slices are well coated, serve warm.

Cheddar & Spring Onion Stars

Lil sunshine seems to be teething again and loves to gnaw on everything in sight so while she takes her afternoon nap,  I made some cheesy bites for her tea! Only 4 ingredients needed,  how easy!

I improvised from the original recipe here.

Mix in the cheddar and chopped spring onions. Add in water and knead into a dough.

Form into balls or any desired shapes. Bake for 10-15 min at 160 degrees or until brown. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 min.
