Ingredients

  • low-calorie cooking spray
  • 250g/9oz chestnut mushrooms
  • 1 small garlic
  • 1 tbsp thinly sliced fresh chives
  • 4 large free-range eggs
  • sea salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 Little Gem lettuce
  • 100g/3½oz cherry tomatoes
  • 1/3 cucumber

Instructions

  • Spray a small, flame-proof frying pan with oil and place over a high heat. (The base of the pan shouldn’t be wider than about 18cm/7in.) Stir-fry the mushrooms in three batches for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned. Tip the cooked mushrooms into a sieve over a bowl to catch any juices – you don’t want the mushrooms to become soggy.
  • Return all the mushrooms to the pan and stir in the garlic and chives, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Cook for a further minute, then reduce the heat to low.
  • Preheat the grill to its hottest setting. Pour the eggs over the mushrooms. Cook for five minutes, or until almost set.
  • Place the pan under the grill for 3-4 minutes, or until set.
  • Combine the salad ingredients in a bowl.
  • Remove from the grill and loosen the sides of the frittata with a round-bladed knife.Turn out onto a board and cut into wedges. Serve hot or cold with the salad.
