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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Rinse the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Mince the garlic clove and roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add the sliced cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Garnish with additional fresh basil or parmesan cheese, if desired.
