- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 2
This is from "The Wine and Food Lover's Diet. It has it a refreshing frittata bursting with flavor.
Ingredients
- 10 fresh basil leaves shopping list
- 1 Tbsp EVOO shopping list
- 1 clove garlic, very finely minced shopping list
- 5 eggs, lightly beaten shopping list
- kosher salt, pepper shopping list
- 1 large handful cherry tomatoes, quartered shopping list
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzerella cheese shopping list
How to make it
- Arrange broiler rack about 6 inches from heat source and preheat oven to 450F.
- Stack half the basil leaves and roll into a tight cylinder. Cut rolled leaves crosswise to make thin strips. Repeat with remaining leaves and set aside.
- In a large, ovenproof skillet, warn the EVOO over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until softened, ~ 1 minute.
- Pour in the eggs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir briefly, then let eggs begin to set around the edges. Using a spatula, lift edges and tilt the pan allowing the uncooked eggs to run underneath. Cook until eggs are set on bottom and still liquid on top.
- Turn off heat, scatter basil, tomatoes and cheese evenly over top of eggs.
- Place skillet in oven and cook until eggs are set, edges are puffed, and the cheese is melted, ~ 1 to 2 minutes. Do Not OverCook... eggs should remain moist.
- Slide frittata onto a onto a plate, cut in half and serve.
- Recommendations: try some olives, or onions, or mushrooms with this.
