Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan (about 23cm) over a high heat. Add the onion and sausages and fry for 10 mins, stirring regularly, until cooked through and caramelised.
  2. Beat the eggs in a large jug. Mix in the chopped basil and crushed chillies; season. Pour over the onion and sausages in the pan, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 5 mins until setting at the edges. Scatter over the tomatoes and cheese, if using. Grill for 6-7 mins until set and golden.
  3. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a colander and pour over boiling water to wilt. Use the back of a spoon to press out excess liquid. Slice the frittata into wedges, scatter over the remaining basil leaves and serve with the wilted spinach.
