Method
- Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion, garlic and thyme for 6-8 minutes until just beginning to soften. Season, then stir in the piquillo peppers and remove from the heat.
- Whisk the eggs, milk and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the cheeses, followed by the tomatoes, chopped chives and onion mixture. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Heat the oven to 170ºC fan/ gas 5. Lay some chive flowers(if using) and extra thyme sprigs on top, then bake for 20-25 minutes until the frittata is golden and firm in the middle. Allow to cool a little before slicing, then serve warm or cold (see Make Ahead).
