An easy cheese, peas and egg dish, enhanced with leeks and greens, makes a crowdpleasing summer meal

Whenever I think of cheese and peas together, I think of “Cheesy peas!”, a fictional food advertised to “northern types” by Paul Whitehouse as part of a comedy sketch on The Fast Show, a television series broadcast in the UK in the 1990s. The advert went like this: “Think cheese! Think peas! Think cheesy peas! They’re great for your teas. It’s easy-peasy with cheesy peas, please!” I couldn’t agree more, and I couldn’t think of a better way to introduce today’s recipe for a simple, summery frittata, except to say: think about eggs and spinach too.
