Ingredients

2 leeks finely chopped
5 spring onions finely sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups (60g) baby spinach or kale, stems removed, finely chopped
1 small bunch fresh dill finely chopped (reserve some leaves to garnish)
2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley finely chopped
6 large eggs
7 ox (200g) cottage cheese 4% or fat-free
1 tsp onion granules optional
3 ½ oz (100g) smoked salmon

Instructions

Mist a 23cm (9inch) non-stick frying pan with cooking spray. Cook the leeks, spring onions and garlic over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
2 leeks, 5 spring onions , 2 cloves garlic , cooking spray or olive oil to cook
Stir in the spinach, dill and parsley and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
1 small bunch fresh dill, 2 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, 2 cups (60g) baby spinach
Beat the eggs and ⅔ of the cottage cheese in a large bowl. Add the onion granules and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix together.
6 large eggs, 7 ox (200g) cottage cheese, 1 tsp onion granules, salt and freshly ground pepper
Clean the frying pan and mist with oil. Scatter about half of the leek / spinach mixture on the pan and then add a few strips of smoked salmon.
3 ½ oz (100g) smoked salmon
Spoon some of the beaten egg over the top and shake the pan so the egg covers all the ingredients.
Start cooking the frittata over low heat and then layer the remaining vegetables and salmon over the top.
Add the rest of the egg and top with spoonfuls of the reserved cottage cheese. Season with pepper and scatter with some dill fronds. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the frittata is almost set with a wobble in the middle.
Place under a medium-hot broiler (grill) and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the frittata is set and golden brown.

Notes

Add some crumbled feta cheese or a little grated Parmesan if you like
You can replace the smoked salmon with flaked cooked salmon which is not as salty.
