Borage frittata

Servings:	Serves 4
Ready in:	35 minutes
Prep. time:	15 minutes
Cook time:	20 minutes
Difficulty:

Frittata (basically an Italian omelette) is a quick and easy dish to make, though you will probably struggle to obtain borage unless you grow it yourself.

You could probably substitute finely sliced cucumber for the borage, though I'm not certain there would be any point in that!

5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Heat the remaining oil in a frittata pan or a frying pan.
