Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs *
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper red, orange or yellow
  • 1 cup arugula
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Whisk eggs, heavy cream and salt until you get a smooth and even texture. Set aside.
  2. Cut tomatoes in half. Chop bell peppers into small pieces.
  3. Melt butter and coat the sides of the baking dish with it. Spread vegetables and greens evenly on the bottom of the pan.
  4. Pour over the egg mixture. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Using a fork, distribute the cheese around a little to incorporate it into the eggs. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the edges and center are set and the top is golden. The internal temperature of the frittata should reach 160˚F on a thermometer.

Notes

  • *If using a 12-inch pan: scale the recipe up to use 8 eggs, 1/2 cup cream, etc. 
  • Variations:
  • You can't really go wrong with: goat cheese, feta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar (especially sharp cheddar), and brie.
  • Cheese: You can't really go wrong with: goat cheese, feta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar (especially sharp cheddar), and brie.
  • Veggies: Red bell peppers, broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms, zucchini, onions, asparagus, tomatoes, garlic, leeks, eggplant, shallots, and jalapenos. 
  • Potatoes: You can cook potatoes in the cast iron pan first before adding the rest of the ingredients; just follow our Hashbrowns Recipe then pour the egg mixture over.
  • Bacon: Bits of crispy bacon add a nice salty bite.
  • Leafy Greens: Arugula, spinach, kale, collard greens, swiss chard, endive, and beet greens. 
  • Dairy Options: Heavy cream is the best option here, but you can also use half-and-half or full-fat milk (reduce to 1/4 cup if using milk). If you don’t have whole milk, adding a little sour cream, yogurt, or crème fraîche will do the trick. 
  • Herbs: Parsley, chives, dill, or basil. Try a pinch of red pepper flakes to add spice.
