The Method

1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
4
Add the leftover bobotie to the skillet and heat through, about 3-5 minutes.
5
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bobotie in the skillet.
6
Dollop the apricot chutney over the egg mixture in several places. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the chutney into the eggs, creating a marbled effect.
7
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown on top.
8
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
9
Garnish with fresh coriander and parsley before serving.

Chef's Tips

For a vegetarian option, replace the bobotie with cooked lentils or a mixture of roasted vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and onions.

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the frittata to a greased baking dish before baking.

Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the frittata.

The frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
