Ingredients

The Frittata:

6 large eggs
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup milk or heavy cream
pinch of sea salt
pinch of fresh black pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

The Add-Ins:

1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh mozzarella bite-sized pieces
1 bunch of fresh basil

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, or heavy cream and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Prepare the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pieces, and fresh basil.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet on MED-HIGH, then add the olive oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently shake it to distribute evenly.
Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Top the cooked frittata with the cherry tomatoes and the fresh mozzarella pieces. Bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted, and the cherry tomatoes are soft.
Remove the skillet from the oven and top the frittata with the fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

While the frittata is baking in the oven, gently shake the skillet to see if the center is no longer jiggly and the edges are golden brown. The consistency should be like a custard.
You can cook the frittata in a cast-iron pan or in a regular skillet. If you are using a regular skillet, make sure it's oven-safe and non-stick. If you don't want to use a skillet or cast-iron pan, you can also pour the egg mixture into an oiled baking dish or muffin tins.
