Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Non-stick skillet or oven-safe pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved (or 2 medium tomatoes, diced)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves torn
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
  • Wash and chop the tomatoes: If using cherry tomatoes, simply halve them. If using larger tomatoes, dice them into bite-sized pieces.
  • Chop the onion finely and tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs: Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
  • Step 2: Cook the Onions
  • Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and fragrant.
  • Step 3: Add Tomatoes and Basil
  • Stir in the tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Add the torn basil leaves to the skillet and mix well.
  • Step 4: Combine with Eggs
  • Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetable mixture in the skillet.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top, if using.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 5-7 minutes, gently lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  • Step 5: Finish Cooking
  • Optional Oven Method: If your skillet is oven-safe, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and transfer the skillet to the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
  • Stovetop Method: If not using the oven, cover the skillet with a lid and continue cooking on low heat for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the frittata is fully set in the center.
  • Step 6: Let Stand and Serve
  • Once cooked, remove the frittata from heat and let it stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Variations
  • Add vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or zucchini.
  • Cheese options: Substitute the Parmesan with feta or mozzarella for a different flavor.
  • Herb variations: Try using different herbs like oregano or thyme for a twist.
