Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- Fresh Tomatoes (Roma or vine-ripened)
- Fresh Basil
- Feta or goat cheese (or mozzarella or cheddar)
- Yellow onion (or shallots or green onions)
- Olive oil (or avocado oil)
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the frittata cooks evenly.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they soften. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, adding a pinch of salt, pepper, and chopped fresh basil.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to combine, ensuring the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Crumble your choice of cheese over the top of the egg mixture. It’ll melt beautifully as it cooks.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set (it should be slightly puffed and golden on top).
- Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh basil if desired.
