Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • a small knob of butter
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 1 x 100g pack young leaf spinach
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp thyme leaves
  • sea salt
  • 150g-200g Gorgonzola (or vegetarian equivalent), in small pieces
  • 4-6 figs, sliced
  • Taste the Difference balsamic vinegar, to drizzle

Step by step

Get ahead
Make up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill, but serve at room temperature.
  1. Preheat the grill and heat a large nonstick frying pan with the oil and butter.
  2. Gently fry the onions for 8-10 minutes until softened and golden. Put the spinach into a colander, pour over boiling water from the kettle, then squeeze dry.
  3. Beat the eggs in a jug with the thyme and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Stir the spinach into the ingredients in the pan followed by the egg mix. Cook over a medium heat for 5-8 minutes or until the eggs are nearly set.
  5. Dot with the cheese and arrange the figs on top, cut-side up. Finish off the frittata under the hot grill for 8-10 minutes until golden and bubbling. Serve warm or cold; drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar before eating.
