Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 small finely diced yellow onion and 1 minced garlic clove, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the frittata is puffed and fully set in the center.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven, let cool for 2 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
