Mini pea and ham frittatas with sweet mustard sauce
Ingredients
Frittatas
- 1 potato
- 8 large eggs
- 50ml fresh cream
- 15ml (1 tbsp) wholegrain mustard
- 10g chives, chopped
- salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 250g cooked ham hock, shredded
- 50g fresh peas
- 100g mature Cheddar, grated
Sweet mustard sauce
- 200g (1 cup) white sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 100ml white vinegar
- 50ml English mustard powder (sifted)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Peel and dice the potato, and simmer in salted water until just cooked.
Mix the eggs and cream until smooth and add the mustard, chives and seasoning.
Line a 12-hole muffin tin with baking paper cut into 8 x 8cm squares. Fill each hole with ham hock, peas and potato. Pour the egg mixture in to cover the filling. Sprinkle with a little grated cheese and bake for 15 minutes.
For the sweet mustard sauce, combine all of the ingredients over a double boiler and beat well, whisking constantly.
The sauce is ready when it’s thick and shiny and the foam has disappeared. Serve warm or cold with warm frittatas.
