Ingredients
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
120g pancetta, thinly sliced

8 free-range eggs
100g cream
Small handful chives, roughly chopped
Salt, to taste

150g goat’s feta cheese, cut into 1cm cubes
Method
- Fill TM bowl with 500ml water. Place broccoli in lower Varoma steaming tray, steam for 9 minutes, Varoma temperature, speed 3. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, fry pancetta in a large non-stick fry pan over medium heat until crispy. Set aside leaving fat in the pan.

- Add oil, sauté for 5 minutes, 100°C, speed 1.

- Add butter to fry pan and heat over medium-low heat. Add broccoli and pour over egg mixture. Crumble pancetta on top and dot with goat’s cheese. Cook for 7 minutes, or until the outer egg mixture sets.
- Place fry pan under hot griller to set the top of the frittata, approximately 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.
- Allow to cool slightly, then place a larger plate over the top of the fry pan and quickly flip over. Gently lift off pan. Use a second plate to flip frittata back over.
Cut into wedges and serve with beetroot relish (Quick Fix: Every Occasion p. 199).
