Cherry Tomato Frittata - healthy and easy Italian frittata recipe. Loaded with fresh cherry tomatoes and Parmesan cheese, every bite is bursting with juicy flavors. So good!
How To Make Frittata
Frittata is an Italian omelette made of eggs, with various ingredients such as cheese and vegetables. Frittata is usually thicker and more filling than regular omelettes.
In this recipe, you’ll learn how to make an easy frittata with eggs and cherry tomatoes.
A few days ago, I chanced upon some fresh and mini-sized cherry tomatoes in my farmers market. The cherry tomatoes were the size of tiny grapes, with vibrant color and organically grown in California.
I bought some and decided to make them into this healthy cherry tomatoes frittata.
It’s very easy to make frittata and this egg dish is perfect as breakfast or brunch. The recipe takes only 15 minutes to make and the end result is absolutely rewarding.
It takes only 3 main ingredients: eggs, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Start off on the stove and finish it in the oven. It’s that simple!
Imagine each bite of the frittata is bursting with the juicy cherry tomatoes; they actually pop and burst in the mouth. Try my recipe, it’s really amazing!
How To Make Cherry Tomato Frittata
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). Rinse those cherry tomatoes with cold water, then pat them dry with a paper towel and set them aside. Next, crack the eggs into a bowl, then add a pinch of salt, black pepper, some Parmesan cheese, and toss in your chopped basil or parsley.
Grab an oven-safe skillet and heat it up over medium heat. Drizzle in about 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, then toss in those cherry tomatoes. Gently stir them around for a minute—just enough to warm them up without popping them!
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over those tomatoes. Let it cook on the stove for a bit until the edges start to set, but the middle is still a little runny. Once that’s done, pop the whole skillet into the oven and bake it for about 5 minutes.
Take it out of the oven and let it cool for just a minute. Then, slice it into wedges and serve it right away!

Followed the recipe and made this tonight. Next time I will use more eggs and probably double the amount of cheese.
