PEA AND SPINACH FRITTATA
I love breakfast. I start thinking about it as soon as I'm finished with desert - I know I'm crazy. I'm willing to sacrifice hours of sleep to whip up something delectable to start off my day. Luckily - this recipe doesn't require that. Just 10 minutes of your time and a handful of ingredients which you should keep onhand anyways. The result? A healthy breakast that is a definite leap up from a bowl of cereal or the plain-jane bagel.

Steps:
- Coat large skillet with cooking spray. Combine onion and water in skillet and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is tender.

- Meanwhile, combine egg whites, eggs, rice, milk, cheese, mint pepper and salt in medium bowl. Add this to skillet.
- Cook without stirring until eggs begin to set (about 2 minutes). Run spoon around edge, lifting eggs for even cooking. Remove from heat when eggs are almost set, but surface is still moist.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 12-15 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to cool, then thinly slice. Whisk the eggs and egg whites with the milk, garlic, mustard and herbs, and season generously. Add the cream cheese and fold through just a little so that some lumps remain. Heat the grill to medium-high.
- Heat the oil over a medium heat in a 23cm non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes and fry for about 5 mins, until they start to turn golden. Add the courgette and chilli flakes, and continue to fry for a couple mins more. Stir through the petit pois.
- Tip the egg mixture into the pan and scatter with the feta and tomatoes. Cook over a gentle heat for 10-12 mins until almost set. Pop the pan under the grill and cook for 3-5 mins until puffed, golden and cooked through. Cut into wedges and serve with a crisp green salad.

FRITTATA WITH PEAS, HERBS AND FETA OR PARMESAN
This frittata is just one good reason to stock peas in your freezer. My favorite herbs to use are tarragon and chives.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas, chopped herbs, and Parmesan or feta.
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
- If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.
