Green Pea, Potato and Goat's Cheese Frittata

This frittata layers thinly sliced baby potatoes, sweet green peas, and tangy crumbled goat's cheese into a simple egg base that cooks on the stovetop and finishes under the grill. It is one of those meals that looks like it took more work than it actually did, and it tastes just as good at room temperature as it does warm.
A Versatile Recovery Meal
With 19g of protein and 16g of carbs per serving, this frittata sits in a useful spot for runners. The potatoes provide starchy carbohydrates to help replenish glycogen after a moderate effort, while the eggs and goat's cheese supply protein for muscle repair. It works equally well as a post-run breakfast, a light lunch, or a quick weeknight dinner alongside a salad.
Make It Ahead
Frittatas are one of the best meal prep options because they store well in the fridge for 2 to 3 days and reheat easily. You can slice it into wedges, wrap them individually, and grab one on your way out the door. This is especially useful during heavy training weeks when you need reliable, protein-rich meals without spending a lot of time cooking every day.
The recipe calls for baby potatoes, but you can substitute sweet potatoes if you prefer. Just make sure to slice them thin enough that they cook through in the initial frying step before you add the eggs.

Heat a 7.8-inch (20cm) ovenproof non-stick frying pan over medium heat, greased with the olive oil. Cook the sliced potato 5-6 minutes on each side or until lightly golden and tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Meanwhile, place the frozen peas in a bowl of hot water and allow to defrost until the peas are tender. Drain well.

Lightly whisk the eggs in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Preheat the grill on medium. Arrange half the potato at the base of the frying pan. Top with half the peas and half the goat's cheese. Repeat the layering process once more and then pour over the eggs to cover the potato. Cook over a low-medium heat for 10 minutes or until the egg is almost set.

Place under the grill for 5 minutes, until the egg is just set on top. Cut the frittata into wedges, and serve with a handful of rocket.
