frittata with wild garlic, roasted butternut squash and brie

My recipe for frittata with wild garlic, roasted butternut squash and brie. A beautifully simple and delicious supper or brunch dish.  Another recipe borne out of my current food obsession - wild garlic.  I love the stuff and I can use it even more now I found a huge patch of it in woodland close to where I live in the UK...happy days.  But the season is nearly over, it is short and sweet and I will have to get over the changing times....but not until I have made some jars of wild garlic pesto to see me through a few more weeks.

I added leftover roasted butternut squash to the frittata, but you could easily substitute for any other roasted vegetables of your choice.  Also many other cheeses would be great melted on top - it's just that I had some brie that I needed to use up.  I would also love this with some nice crumbly goats cheese or Stilton.  This can be served simply with some crusty bread or boiled new potatoes.  Let me know how you get on - I hope you enjoy :-)

100g brie sliced (or cheese of choice)
2 tbs vegetable oil

instructions: 

• heat a frying pan with the vegetable oil, beat the eggs then add to the pan with the roasted butternut squash and half the wild garlic - stir around a few times to start the cooking then turn the heat down.
• add the sliced brie to the top of the frittata.  The frittata should cook in about 5 minutes - you can finish it off under the grill if you like to brown up the cheese.
