Caramelised Onion and Coriander Frittata

Total time:
30 minutes
to 35 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 green medium pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 450g red onions, finely sliced
- 2 tsp vegetable or olive oil
- 5 medium free range eggs
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
- 4 rashers unsmoked bacon, cut into small strips
- ½ pack of fresh Waitrose coriander, finely chopped
- 150g feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- A knob of butter
Method
- In a pan, sweat the onions in the oil over a medium heat for 10-12 minutes, until the onions are golden brown at the edges, stirring occasionally.
- Break the eggs into a bowl and beat thoroughly. In a separate pan, fry the peppers and bacon until the peppers are soft and the bacon is beginning to crisp. Remove the onions with a draining spoon and add to the eggs. Then add the bacon, peppers, coriander, feta and seasoning to the mixture.
- Heat the butter in a shallow, non-stick, 25cm diameter pan. Pour in the egg mixture and cook over a medium heat until the frittata has set on the bottom but the surface is still runny (3-4 minutes).
- Flash the pan under a preheated grill for 30-60 seconds to set the surface. (If your pan does not have a heatproof handle, turn the frittata in the pan to cook the other side.) Cut into wedges and serve with a watercress salad and crusty bread.
