Charity Chomp: The GOAT of frittatas

Friday 17 March 2023

If you're looking for something seasonal to brighten up your weekend - and a way to use up leftovers - why not whip up this delicious frittata? We've been told it's the GOAT...

This recipe was shared by Louise Agnès of Douet Farm for Jersey Action Against Rape's for their 'Recipe and Walk' book, which brings together islanders' favourite tasty treats and whimsical walks.

"This frittata is a great way to use our Jersey goat’s cheese in springtime," Louise said.

"It's simple and fresh, but it really lets the goat’s cheese flavour sing for itself. And we love that you can just throw in whatever else you have left in the fridge too! It’s fresh, it’s flexible, it’s fabulous!"

Louise's top tip for this recipe is to add bacon lardons when you fry the onions and pair the frittata with a salad.
