Well, we are halfway through the year and I haven’t run out of ideas for Oscar’s lunch boxes – yet! These mini frittatas are actually a very early recipe but as Oscar never took to them, I haven’t published it before. Now that he is finally eating eggs on their own I decided to give them another try, and this time we had success! The best part of these is that the filling can be changed to make different types of frittatas at the one time – especially good if you have multiple requirements or tastes to cater for.

For the pasta I used Olive Green Organics Baby Anellini quinoa & rice pasta. You can use any small pasta, or noodles cut into small pieces before cooking. Rice can also be used, preferrably brown. Using GF pasta or rice will make this recipe GF.
For the filling you need 2 cups of finely chopped, grated or pureed vegetables or cooked meat. The following are some suggestions, but you can use almost anything. You can also cater for multiple dietary requirements by creating separate fillings and using different coloured paper pans to identify them.
Low Chemical / FAILSAFE:
- Swede
- Green beans
- Choko
- Celery
- Spring Onoins
- Real Deli Chicken
- Cooked FAILSAFE sausages
- Cooked mince
- Cooked chicken
- Tinned beans (roughly mashed)
- Cooked lentils
Moderate Salicylates:
- Carrot,
- Butternut/Squash pumpkin
- Sweet potato
- Peeled zucchini
Moderate Glutamates:
- Peas
Very High Amines:
- Preservative-free ham or bacon
