Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk (or cream for a richer flavor)

1 cup ripe cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

      Sauté the Aromatics: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

        Add Tomatoes and Basil: Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and torn basil leaves. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

          Combine with Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan evenly on top. Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

            Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the frittata is puffed and lightly golden on top. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

              Cool and Slice: Once done, remove from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves if desired.

                Serve and Enjoy: This Fresh Tomato Basil Frittata can be served warm, at room temperature, or even chilled. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner!
