    1. Heat oven grill to medium-high. In a medium non-stick ovenproof frying pan heat oil over medium. Cook onion, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add garlic and courgette and cook, stirring, for 1–2 minutes until softened. Add roasted veges and ham and stir. Spread mixture evenly around the pan.
    2. In a large jug, whisk eggs and milk together. Season with pepper. Pour egg mixture over veges. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes, or until base is golden and set.
    3. Place frying pan under grill, and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until top is set and golden. Leave to cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
    4. Meanwhile, in a bowl combine tomatoes, basil and the 2 teaspoons of balsamic vinegar. Carefully invert tortilla onto a clean board and cut into 8 wedges.
    5. Divide tortilla wedges among 4 plates and serve with tomato salad, and salad leaves drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette.
