Step by step
- Preheat the grill to medium-high. Whisk the eggs in a large jug and season well. Stir in the grated cheese, chopped mint and lemon zest, then set aside.
- Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan with a base diameter of 20-22cm, over a medium-high heat. Add the broccoli with 2 tablespoons of water and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until almost tender. Stir in the garlic and peas, then the spinach. Cook until the spinach has wilted.
- Whisk the egg mixture again briefly then pour it over the vegetables. Quickly stir to combine and shake the pan to level out. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes until semi-set. Place under the grill and cook for 4-6 minutes, until set and golden brown on top.
- Meanwhile, mix the crème fraîche with the lemon juice. Place a serving plate on top of the frying pan and invert to remove the frittata. Slice into wedges and serve with the lemony crème fraîche and salad leaves, plus some new potatoes if you like. Any leftover frittata keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days.
