Method

  • 1. Cook the broad beans in a pan of boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender.
  • Drain well, then refresh in cold water. When the beans are cool enough to handle, peel away the outer membranes.

  • 2. Heat the oil in a small ovenproof frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt flakes. Fry for 8-10 minutes, or until softened but not coloured.

  • 3. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to its highest setting. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well
  • combined and full of air, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  • 4. When the onions have softened, increase the heat to medium and pour in
  • the beaten eggs. Sprinkle over the crumbled feta, mint leaves and cooked broad beans. Leave the pan on the heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the underside of the egg mixture is pale golden-brown.
  • (NB: Do not stir the mixture.)

  • 5. Transfer the pan to the grill and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until the top side of the egg mixture is firm and pale golden-brown.

  • 6. Place a large plate upside-down over the pan, then turn the pan over so that the fruitalia falls onto the plate.

  • 7. To serve, cut the fruitalia into wedges and serve with crusty white bread.
