Bacon, Pea and Goat's Cheese Frittata

 olive oil, for frying

6-8 slices of smoked bacon, chopped into bit-sized pieces

1 red pepper,sliced

3 green onions, trimmed and sliced diagonally

frozen peas

handful of basil, leaves roughly chopped

 goat's cheese 

8 eggs, beaten 

3-4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

freshly ground black pepper

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Heat  oil in a Cast Iron skillet  and fry bacon for 2-3 minutes.  Add the red pepper and continue to cook for another few minutes until the bacon is golden brown and crisp.  Add the green onions and sweat for 4-5 minutes until everything is tender.  Stir in the peas and heat through.  Sprinkle in the basil, roughly mixing it through the vegetables.  Cut one of the goat's cheeses into chunks and scatter on top.

3.  Heat the grill on its highest setting.

4.  Put the beaten eggs in a bowl, add the Parmesan and season generously with pepper.  Pour into the skillet over the vegetables and gently shake over a medium heat.  As the frittata begins to set at the bottom, grate the remaining goat's cheese on top and season with pepper.
