Preheat the grill to medium-high. Set a large, nonstick frying pan (about 20cm diameter) over a medium heat and add the oil, plus the potatoes and butter from the pack. Fry for 5 minutes, turning the potatoes regularly until they are golden brown. Stir in the salad onions and thyme, followed by the blanched broccoli. Beat the eggs together in a jug and season. Pour the eggs into the pan then reduce the heat; cook for a couple of minutes to allow the eggs to set slightly at the base.

Scatter the cheese and mixed seeds over the frittata. Grill for 6-8 minutes until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set. Meanwhile, toss the salad leaves with a pinch of salt and the dressing. Divide the frittata between 4 plates and serve with the salad.
