    1 Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced.

    2 In a large ovenproof frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat, add the spring onions and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened. Add the greens and cook for 2 minutes until they start to wilt. Remove the pan from the heat, add the herbs and stir well to combine, then spread the mixture in an even layer in the pan and dot the ricotta over the top.

    3 In a bowl, whisk the eggs and season with pepper. Pour the egg over the greens and ricotta, then transfer to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the top is golden and the egg is set.

    4 Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the frittata with a few extra parsley and basil leaves and a generous amount of shaved parmesan. Cut into slices and serve.
