Smoked Salmon & Pea Frittata

A beautifully bright day today, only a couple of degrees of Springtime was a nice quip I heard earlier, which sums up nicely the nature of it so with that in mind, a dish for Spring is Smoked Salmon and Pea Frittata.

Cooking the frittata, the eggs are starting to set

Some sliced new potatoes, are added to beaten eggs with peas, celery, chives before adding strips of smoked salmon. It's all going very well, the eggs are starting to set and very soon it is time to flip. The 'proper' way to do this is put a dinner plate over the pan, before quickly inverting the plate and pan, then sliding the almost set frittata back into the pan so the bottom cooks. I feel quite pleased with myself having done this and it's only some time later that I find some uncooked egg mix on the other side of my kitchen which must have flown out in the flipping process.
As for the dish itself, I find more punchy flavours like chorizo suit it better, though this is still edible. Also such things are better cold, so maybe it will improve with an evening in the fridge...
