This is a simple easy to make recipe – a bit of chopping, a quick whisk, and into the oven. This strata is colourful, rich and really tasty. Add or adapt the ingredients according to what you have in the fridge.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs

Directions

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion, capsicum and courgette until softened.
