2. Meanwhile, finely chop the spinach. Add to the pan with the red pepper and peas, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the spinach has wilted.
3. Stir the chopped mint into the beaten eggs, then pour into the frying pan. Fry gently for 5-6 minutes or until the base is lightly browned and set.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-hot. Sprinkle the cheese over the surface of the frittata and season with salt and pepper. Place the pan under the grill for 4 - 5 minutes or until the top is set and golden. Leave to stand for 5 minutes before turning out of the pan. Serve cut into thick wedges, with a crisp green salad.
