Method

Heat a glug of oil in a 23cm diameter frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion and bacon for 5-8 minutes until the bacon starts to turn golden. Add the garlic and cook for a minute or so more.
Meanwhile, in a measuring jug, beat together the eggs and milk, then season. Stir in the spring onions and peas. Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan, then turn down the heat to low. Gently cook for 10 minutes, without disturbing the bottom of the pan. Heat the grill to high.
Sprinkle the cheese on top of the frittata, then put it under the grill for 5-10 minutes until the cheese melts and the frittata is set and golden.
