Method
- Cook the potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 5 minutes, or until tender. Cook the asparagus and peas in lightly salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender.
- Mix the eggs with the milk and goat's cheese and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat the grill to high. Heat 1/2 tbsp oil and the margarine/butter in a frying pan and add the potatoes, asparagus and peas. Pour in the beaten eggs, making sure the vegetables are covered. Stir the egg mixture to break it up a little as it begins to cook. Cook for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat, or until the edge of the frittata begins to set.
- Place the frittata pan under the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the egg is cooked and the top is golden.
- Meanwhile to prepare the salad, mix together the vinegar and 1 tbsp oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss with the rocket leaves.
- Serve the frittata immediately with the dressed rocket salad.
