Caprese Frittata combines the fresh, vibrant flavors of a Caprese salad with a fluffy, savory egg base. Featuring tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a touch of balsamic glaze, this dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

  1. 8 large eggs
    1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
    Salt and pepper to taste
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
    1 cup fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed or shredded
    1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (plus more for garnish)
    1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream (or milk), salt, and pepper until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add halved tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove from heat.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed tomatoes in the skillet. Stir gently to distribute the tomatoes evenly in the eggs. Top with mozzarella and basil.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. For added nutrition, sauté spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms with the tomatoes before adding the egg mixture.
  2. Swap fresh mozzarella for goat cheese, feta, or Parmesan for a different flavor.
  3. Add cooked bacon, sausage, or shredded chicken to the egg mixture for a heartier version.
  4. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free milk and cheese.
