Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them together with the heavy cream. Add the salt, black pepper, and grated parmesan cheese, stirring until combined. Set aside.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Mince the garlic clove and roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Pour the egg mixture over the tomatoes in the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure the eggs spread evenly. Sprinkle the chopped basil leaves over the top.
Allow the frittata to cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and the center is fully set.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a minute or two. Carefully slide it out of the pan onto a cutting board or serving plate.
Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Garnish with additional fresh basil or parmesan cheese, if desired.
