Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture:

  • 8 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1/4 cup basil, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Additional Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  1. Egg Mixture: Combine eggs, milk, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
  2. Preheat Broiler: Place an oven rack about 2-3 inches from the top and set broiler to high.
  3. Cook Egg Mixture: Heat oil in a large cast-iron (or oven-safe) skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add egg mixture and cook for 2 minutes, using a spatula to pull back and loosen the eggs slightly from the sides, allowing more raw egg to coat the pan. Remove from heat and let it rest for one minute.
  4. Add Mozzarella and Broil: Place sliced mozzarella rounds on top of the eggs and place skillet in the oven. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until eggs are just set. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.
  5. Cook Tomatoes: While the frittata is cooling, heat olive oil in a small pan over high heat. Add tomatoes and cook, gently swirling the pan often, for 5-7 minutes, until tomatoes are browned and beginning to burst. Season with remaining salt and balsamic vinegar.
  6. Serve: Spoon the tomatoes on top of frittata and serve immediately or at room temperature.
