What you need for the Frittata
60g peeled potatoes
6 eggs
3 tbsp grated cheddar
70g bacon
1 small onion
1 red pepper

Fry the bacon in a small amount of oil and set aside
Finely chop the onion and fry along with chopped pepper and mushrooms. Once softened, set aside
Meanwhile, beat the eggs together and add the grated cheddar, herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper
Now you're ready to get things going.
Put a small amount of oil in a large pan. Add the potatoes and spread out. This forms the base of the frittata. Now add the bacon, followed by the vegetables, cherry tomatoes and then topped off with the egg & cheese mix.
Cook for 10 minutes over a medium heat, then transfer to the grill for 5 minutes.
Once you are happy with the eggy texture on top, remove the pan. Scatter the baby spinach leaves on top and then the serrano ham. This will soften from the heat of the frittata
