Ingredients

Allergens: dairy, egg

8 eggs
150 g peas
120 g feta
4 spring onions
10 g mint
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Heat the oven to 180°C. Brush the baking dish with the olive oil, coating the base and sides so the frittata releases cleanly.

~5 min
Trim and thinly slice the spring onions. Pick the mint leaves and chop them finely. Crumble the feta into rough 1 cm pieces.

~5 min
Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

~3 min
Stir the sliced spring onions, chopped mint, peas and three quarters of the crumbled feta into the eggs. Pour the mixture into the oiled dish and scatter the remaining feta over the top.

~2 min
Bake until the frittata is set around the edges and the centre barely wobbles when you nudge the dish, 20 to 25 minutes. If the centre still looks wet, bake 3 to 5 minutes more.

~30 min
Let the frittata stand in the dish for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edge and slide it out. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
