Bubble and squeak frittata recipe

Our bubble and squeak frittata recipe makes a delicious brunch in three simple steps and is perfect for using up leftover cooked vegetables.

Our bubble and squeak frittata is infused with Shichimi Togarashi, one of our favorite seasonings. It’s a Japanese spice mix containing chilli, seeds (usually sesame), and seaweed. It’s quite spicy so can be omitted if you’re not a fan of hot food. This recipe serves four but you can be flexible with quantities and work with the vegetables and leftovers you have.
