How to do it

1.    Preheat the oven to 200°C.

3.    For the caramelized onion, follow steps 2 and 3 in the Mexican twist burger recipe.

4.    Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the beaten eggs. Season. Scatter over the goat’s cheese and roasted pears. Allow the frittata to set, about 4 minutes. Place in the preheated oven to finish cooking, about 6 minutes.

5.    Remove from oven and add the caramelised onion, almonds, cherry tomatoes and rocket. Serve immediately with rye toast.
