SERVES 4-6

150g frozen baby broad beans or peas, or a mixture

250g asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 5cm lengths

6 medium eggs

1 tbsp lemon juice

50g freshly grated parmesan

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

150g medium-mature goat’s cheese log, roughly chopped or crumbled

1 tbsp small mint leaves

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the broad beans or peas and bring the water back to the boil, then add the asparagus spears and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are just tender. Drain the veg using a colander and pass them under a cold tap to stop them cooking any further.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with some salt and pepper, then whisk in the lemon juice and parmesan. Gently mix in the asparagus spears and broad beans or peas.
• Heat a grill on high, and also heat a 26cm-28cm nonstick ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add a tablespoon of oil to the pan, tip in the frittata mixture, spreading the veg out evenly and cook for 3 minutes.
• Arrange the goat’s cheese on top, scatter over the mint leaves, drizzle over another tablespoon of oil especially on the mint leaves, and place under the grill for 3-4 minutes until golden and puffy at the sides. The frittata can be eaten hot or at room temperature.
