Caprese frittata

Don’t know about you, but around here, frittata is on heavy rotation. What can we say, she truly has it all! This dish is nutritious and delicious, it can be tweaked almost to no bounds to match seasonality or cravings, and it can be eaten at pretty much any hour of the day. This time, we suggest this scarlet beauty of a frittata—a goodie you can prepare year-round, but that truly comes to life with local summer tomatoes. It’s inspired by the famous Caprese salad which boasts the Holy Trinity of Italian flavours: tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. It’s fresh, yet rich. It’s easy, yet elegant. It’s a must-try!

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 °F.
  2. In a large non-stick, oven-proof pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ½ cup of halved cherry tomatoes and garlic to the pan. Once the tomatoes start to burst, add the tomato basil sauce. Salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and the ¼ cup of basil. Pour the egg mixture over the tomato sauce and place the cubes of mozzarella on top.
  4. With a rubber spatula, lightly scramble the eggs and let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the eggs are just set.
  6. Remove from the oven and slide the frittata onto a large serving plate. Garnish with the extra cherry tomatoes, basil leaves, and burrata. Serve hot or at room temperature.
