Ingredients

  • 6 tomatoes, ripe but firm
  • 2 tablespoons basil leaves, fresh
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • black pepper, freshly ground
  • 7 medium eggs, bean
  • salt
  • 300 g mozzarella cheese
  • 2 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method

  • To make the tomato and basil salad, slice the tomtoes very thinly, tear up the basil leaves and sprinkle over.
  • Make the dressing by whisking 2 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice and sugar together well.
  • Season with black pepper before drizzling the dressing over the salad.
  • To make the frittata, preheat the grill to a high heat, just before beginning to cook.
  • Place the eggs in a large bowl with plenty of salt and whisk.
  • Grate the mozzarella and stir into the egg with the finely chopped spring onions.
  • Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and pour in the egg mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon to spread the ingredients evenly over the pan.
  • Cook for 5-8 minutes, until the frittata is golden brown and firm on the underside.
  • Place the whole pan under the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Slide the frittata on to a serving plate, cut into six large wedges and serve immediately with the tomato and basil salad and plenty of warm crusty bread.
