Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon, freshly cracked
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Fresh oregano
- 2 tablespoons, chopped
- Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup, halved
- Eggs
- 6 large
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, and chopped oregano until well combined.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and release their juices.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed tomatoes in the skillet, allowing the eggs to fill in around the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously on top of the egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy it on its own or with a side of mixed greens drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for added freshness.
Tips
- For a heartier version, feel free to add cooked vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini.
- You can also substitute the Parmesan cheese with feta or goat cheese for a tangy twist.
- This frittata can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, making it a great option for meal prep.
