This dish is best eaten while it’s still warm but can easily be made in advance and served cold. You can really add your own twist to this recipe by adding your favourite vegetables, spices, smoked fish or cooked chicken. The Saint Agur® blue cheese really gives a savoury note to the frittata and a little sharpness, making the whole dish balanced and delicious.
