Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a nonstick, oven-proof frying pan (about 28cm) over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and fry for 3-4 mins, then add the sweet potato and fry for 10-15 mins. Add 50ml water to help the potato cook, then continue to fry until the water’s evaporated and the onion and potato are starting to caramelise. Stir through the garlic and cook for a further few mins.
  2. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Stir through the basil leaves.
  3. In a jug or mixing bowl beat together the eggs and cottage cheese. Season, then pour over the veggie mix and stir to combine a little.
  4. Sprinkle over the chopped sundried tomatoes and continue to cook on the hob for 5 mins over a medium heat.
  5. Transfer to the oven and cook for a further 10-15 mins until puffed up and golden on top. Slice into wedges or squares to serve.
