Italian Herb Frittata with Mozzarella and Tomato recipe

Stashcook

This is a yummy egg dish with cheese and tomato. It's like a big, round, soft egg pie. You cook it in a pan and then in the oven. It has eggs, cheese, tomato, and green leaves called basil. It's good for breakfast or lunch.

Ingredients

10 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 package (8 oz) fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
1/2 small package fresh basil, cut into ribbons
5 medium tomatoes, sliced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Method

1
Preheat the broiler and position the rack in the upper third of the oven.
2
Wash the tomatoes and basil. Slice the tomatoes into rounds and cut the basil into thin ribbons.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, half of the basil ribbons, salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
4
Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5
Add the tomato slices to the skillet, reserving a few for the top, and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
6
Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in the egg mixture. Cook without stirring until the edges begin to set, about 5 minutes.
7
Gently lift the edges with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue to cook until the bottom is set but the top is still slightly runny, about 5 more minutes.
8
Arrange the remaining tomato slices and mozzarella slices on top of the frittata.
9
Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the cheese melts and the top is set, about 3 minutes.
10
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice into wedges.
11
Garnish with the remaining basil ribbons and serve warm.
