Ingredients
- 8 large egg
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes optional
- 3 Tbsp chives fresh
- 3 Tbsp parsley
- 3 Tbsp basil
- 2 Tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1 cup bell pepper colorful, heaped, chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion heaped, slivered
- 2 dozen cherry tomatoes very small or 12 halved
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Whisk the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water until well broken up. Whisk in the cheese, salt, pepper, and chili flakes, if using. Snip in the herbs and set aside.
- Heat the butter or oil in a 10 inch skillet and sauté the onions and peppers for a few minutes, just to soften slightly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook just until the edges start to set.
- Arrange the cherry tomatoes on top,. Note: if using halved cherry tomatoes, place them cut side up.
- Carefully slide the frittata into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is just cooked through but the center is still ever so slightly loose. Remember it will continue to cook out of the oven so judge accordingly. Just like with scrambled eggs, under cooking is better than over cooking.
- Slice and serve warm, or at room temperature.
