This Watercress & Ricotta Frittata is a perfect Easter inspired dish! Watercress is an under appreciated green: loaded with nutrients such as folate and vitamin K. The flavour is slightly reminiscent of fresh-cut grass (in a good way!). On top of that, the lemon zest in the recipe adds delightful freshness. Makes a great addition to brunch a supper dish paired with a side salad!

– 2 Tbsp canola oil
– 1 onion, chopped
