Put the ingredients in before you go to bed and wake up to amazing smells coming from your kitchen. They’re great for busy weekday mornings and relaxing weekend breakfasts, too.

Overnight sausage frittata

£6.47 — £1.62pp

Serves 4

Wake up to a tasty sausage frittata which is great for saving time on busy days

Prep: 20 mins

Cooking time overnight: Minimum 3 hours

YOU NEED:

• 4 Morrisons The Best thick pork sausages


• Low-fat oil spray


• 6 medium eggs


• 150g cheddar cheese, grated


• 1 red pepper, diced


• 1 orange pepper, diced


• 1 large onion, diced


• ¼ tsp paprika


• ¼ tsp dried thyme


• ¼ tsp salt


• ¼ tsp black pepper, freshly ground


• 2 tbsp semi-skimmed milk


• 3 tbsp fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped


• 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

METHOD: Heat a large frying pan and brown the sausages for 10 minutes. Next spray the inside of the slow cooker well with the oil, on the bottom and up the sides.

Whisk the eggs together with the cheese and added in the peppers, onions, paprika, thyme, salt, pepper and milk. Add in 2 tbsp of parsley but keep the remainder to decorate in the morning, storing it in an airtight container in the fridge.

Chop the sausages into inch-size pieces and add to the egg mixture. Add the mixture to the slow cooker and decorate the top with the tomatoes. Put the slow cooker on a slow setting and cook overnight.

If you wake up early and are waiting for guests or family to rise then turn the cooker off – the egg will keep warm for 30 minutes. Or if your slow cooker has a warm setting then turn that on. When ready to serve put a spatula around the edge of the frittata and slide on to a warmed plate.

Serve topped with the remainder of the parsley.

TIP: For a healthier version you can use low-fat sausages and egg whites. For a kick, add in chopped chilli.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
