Step by step
Get ahead
Make up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill, but serve at room temperature.
- Preheat the grill and heat a large nonstick frying pan with the oil and butter.
- 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.
- Beat the eggs in a jug with the thyme and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- 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.
- 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.
