Frittata 2 ways

This recipe has been a favourite of mine ever since I first moved out of home. It is easy, quick and cheap and you don't even need to really follow the recipe, add whatever is in your fridge. For example usually I make this with spinach not kale but I have kale that needs using and it worked a treat.

I did 12 mini frittatas in the oven using a muffin tray and did a big one in the slow cooker, this is the first time I have attempted to make a frittata in the slow cooker but I was pleased with the results.

What I had to do first was roast my capsicum, for this I sliced it up and put it into a hot oven skin side up until the skin was blackened and blistered. When that had cooled I chopped it up after peeling the skin off.

While the capsicum was roasting I shredded some kale and put it in a frying pan and cooked slightly.
I put some in the bottom of my slow cooker (I had generously sprayed my slow cooker with coconut oil beforehand), I also placed some in each of the muffin holes in my muffin tray. Add the calpsicum and some spring onion too.
I whisked up 18 eggs and added some pepper. I separated this between the muffin tray and the slow cooker. Sprinkle feta on top and cook.



In the oven I cooked these at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.
In the slow cooker this cooked on low for 3 hours
