Asparagus and edamame bean frittata

Meal type: Main meal

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

1. Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the sliced potatoes. Cook for five minutes, then add the frozen beans (or peas, if using) and asparagus to the pan, and cook for a further five minutes. Drain well.

2. Beat together the low-fat soft cheese with the eggs. Heat the oil in a 20cm non-stick frying pan.

3. Spread the vegetables over the base of the pan, then pour the egg mixture over. Cook over a low heat for 10 minutes until you see the egg setting around the edges.

4. Place the pan under the grill for five minutes so the top sets.

5. Carefully loosen around the edge of the pan with a spatula and transfer to a board.

6. Toss together the rocket, tomatoes, radishes and balsamic vinegar. Pile on top of the frittata. Cut into wedges to serve.

Cook's tip

You can swap the asparagus and beans for any green vegetables you like – just adjust the cooking time for the vegetables as needed.
