Thin herb frittatas with feta and smoked ocean trout

Serves 6



Frittatas
14   free-range eggs
4   green onions, including green stems, finely chopped
¼ cup   dill, finely chopped
½ cup   coriander leaves, finely chopped
½ cup   flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped
½ cup   chervil leaves, finely chopped
¼ cup   marjoram leaves, finely chopped
¼ cup   fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1 tbsp   unsalted butter
1 tbsp   extra-virgin olive oil
Filling
200 gm   Greek feta, crumbled
1 tbsp   extra-virgin olive oil
300 gm   smoked ocean trout, thinly sliced
1½ cups   mixed baby herb leaves (see note)


1 Whisk eggs and herbs together in a large bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and allow to stand for 10 minutes or more to develop the flavour.
2 Melt butter and olive oil in a 20cm crepe pan over medium to high heat. When it foams, pour in enough egg mixture to cover the pan in a thin layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then place a plate over the crepe pan and flip frittata onto plate. Return crepe pan to heat and transfer frittata uncooked side down into pan. Cook for a few more minutes, then slide frittata onto a plate. Repeat process with remaining egg mixture.
3 For filling, combine feta and olive oil in a small bowl.
4 To serve, divide feta, smoked ocean trout, mixed baby herbs between frittatas and roll each into a log. Cut each log in half and serve either hot or cold.

Note Baby herbs are available from select green grocers and farmers markets.
