Spring Onion and Gruyere Cheese Frittata
Ingredients
Serves 4-6
6 eggs
115g grated Le Gruyere Switzerland AOP
100g finely chopped spring onions
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt
25g butter
How to make it
As Le Gruyere becomes stringy when melted it makes the perfect cheese frittata. This recipe serves 4-6 so it’s an ideal dinner dish served with antipasto and crunchy bread, or as part of a tapas spread.
- In a bowl, mix the eggs and whisk until blended
- Add the Gruyère, chopped spring onions and pepper then mix until combined
- Turn on your grill
- Using a frying pan that you can put under a grill, melt butter, and once it begins to foam pour the egg mixture into the pan. Turn the heat down low.
- When the eggs have set and thickened but the surface remains runny, place the pan under the grill
- Take it out when it has set
- When ready, loosen with a spatula and serve by cutting it into wedges
- Cheese Frittata is delicious hot or cold
