A light paper-thin frittata topped simply with Spring’s young onions or traditional balsamic vinegar of Modena D.O.P., done with the right technique elevates an 'omelette' to a sophisticated and elegant dish. This healthy versatile recipe is not just to be made for breakfast, it can be served along side a salad for a light lunch or an appetizer/antipasto with dinner.

Without having to flip the eggs this dish just got super simple - it's all in the detail!
- The pan heat is very important. If your pan is too hot you will brown your eggs and a proper frittata should have no color.
- By using the oven to firm up/cook the top of the frittata this eliminates the need to flip it & risk breaking the eggs.
- Less is more. Remember this is not a thick fluffy omelet but delicate enough to almost melt in your mouth.
