Method

Step 1

Add the oil to a small frying pan over a low-medium heat, then add the chopped ham and leek, and stir until the leek has softened, about 3–4 minutes.

Step 2

In a bowl, beat the eggs with the yogurt, then mix in the pepper and half the cheese. Meanwhile, turn the grill on.

Step 3

Pour the egg mixture into the pan and mix quickly with a fork. Allow to cook for 1 minute, then stir again. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, constantly easing the edges of the frittata away from the sides of the pan.

Step 4

Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and place under the grill for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5

Slide the frittata onto a plate, sprinkle with some chopped, fresh chives and enjoy. Alternatively, allow to cool and then refrigerate.

Recipe tips

Parmesan has a strong flavour, so you don't need to use very much to get a fantastic cheesy flavour, but with less fat.
Store unused Parmesan in greaseproof paper inside a polythene bag in the fridge, as clingfilm makes it sweat.
Use a small frying pan for this recipe.
