Grandpa Pig’s easy and tasty Tomato Frittata Fingers made with delicious tomatoes from Peppa’s Vegetable Garden (Sponsored Post)
Last week I posted a recipe for delicious No Bake Carrot Cake Energy Bites inspired by the newly released Peppa’s Vegetable Garden. This week I’m continuing the veggie theme with Grandpa Pig’s Tomato Frittata Fingers.
If you struggle to get your kids to eat their veggies then this book, aimed at children aged 2-6, is a great way to discuss the benefits of eating fresh veggies. Peppa and George have lots of fun helping Grandpa Pig plant seeds and watch their vegetable garden grow.
Inspired by this story I made these really tasty Tomato Frittata Fingers which are perfect to whip up for lunch at home.
These frittata fingers are packed, not only with cherry tomatoes, but also peas and peppers. Eggs are a really nutritious source of protein, making a healthy and delicious lunch for the whole family.
If you want to make these frittata fingers ahead of time, they can be cooled and then kept covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can then reheat in the microwave or pop into a lunch box for lunch at school or work.
If you try this recipe yourself please do let me know what you think. Or tag me in a picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. I’d love to see your pictures and hearing your comments about the recipes!

My little girl says she doesn’t like tomatoes (despite loving tomato pasta, tomato sauce and every other tomato based dish I;ve ever made) and she loved these too, especially when I told her these were Granpa Pig’s tomato frittatas!!! I really enjoyed them too!
