Ingredients
- 2 large egg
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 sun-dried tomatoes thinly sliced
- 1 piece (1 ½-inch thick) fresh mozzarella cheese cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 2 basil leaves chiffonaded
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and whisk until combined. Heat a small, heatproof nonstick skillet (I used an 8-inch one) over medium heat. Add the eggs.
- Cook the eggs, without stirring or shaking the pan, until the bottom is cooked but there is still layer of raw egg on top.
- Season with salt and pepper, and top with the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.
- Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the top of the frittata is just starting to brown and is slightly puffed, 1 to 2 minutes. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
- Remove frittata from the oven, slide it onto a plate (use a spatula if necessary), and sprinkle the basil over top. Serve immediately.
