- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 2 carrots (grated)
- A few sprigs of parsley (finely chopped, for garnish)
Batter:
- 4 eggs
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1/4 cup of milk (50 ml)

- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of oregano
Cheese:

Making It Step by Step
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
Start by prepping your vegetables. Finely shred the cabbage using a knife or a food processor. Grate the carrots and finely chop the onion and parsley. Set them aside. This mix of vegetables will add color, crunch, and nutrition to your frittata.
Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables;
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add the shredded cabbage and grated carrots to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and the carrots are tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the heat and set them aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy. Add the flour, milk, olive oil, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and oregano to the eggs.
- Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. This batter will bind the vegetables together and give the frittata its fluffy texture.
Step 4: Combine the Vegetables and Batter
- Once the sautéed vegetables have cooled slightly, gently fold them into the egg batter. Make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- This will ensure that each bite of the frittata is packed with flavor and texture.
Step 5: Add the Mozzarella Cheese
Fold in the shredded Feta cheese, reserving a little to sprinkle on top of the frittata. The cheese will melt as the frittata cooks, adding a delicious creaminess to the dish.
Step 6: Cook the Frittata
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an oven-safe skillet or baking dish with olive oil. Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Place the frittata in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown. To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean when the frittata is fully cooked.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
- Once the frittata is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor. Serve the frittata warm, either on its own or with a side of salad, bread, or yogurt for a complete meal.
