Honey Roasted Pumpkin & Cream Cheese Frittata

April 7, 2021 by themacphersondiaries

Jump to Recipe

I created this Honey Roasted Pumpkin & Cream Cheese Frittata for Rockburn wines to go with their latest vintage of Pinot Gris. The Pinot Gris has lovely lifted honey notes so perfect to reflect this with the honey roasted pumpkin.

I love serving a frittata in the middle of the table alongside some bread and a big green salad. It is such a versatile meal, perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner.

FAQs

What can I do in advance? You can roast the pumpkin in advance and store in the fridge until needed.

Can I swap items? Absolutely. You can use silverbeet or kale instead of spinach. You can use kumara/sweet potato or potato instead of pumpkin. You can use pear, or apple instead of nashi pear.

Try feta instead of cream cheese for a salty cheesy twist.

  8. Switch the oven to grill and place an oven proof pan on the hob on a medium heat.
  9. Add a teaspoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter to the pan and saute the spinach.
  10. Add the onions and ¾ of the pumpkin slices to the pan, pour over the egg mix and dot around spoonful’s of cream cheese.
  11. Cook for around 2 minutes on the hob then place under the grill to finish cooking the eggs.
