HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Preheat your oven broiler to high.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until completely smooth and slightly frothy.

Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and half of the fresh basil.

Heat an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat with a light coating of oil.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until the edges set.

Top the frittata with mozzarella pearls and parmesan cheese.

Transfer the skillet to the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes until the top is golden brown and puffy.

Remove from the heat, sprinkle with the remaining fresh basil, and serve immediately.

COOKING TIP

Make it better

For the fluffiest results, ensure your eggs are at room temperature before whisking. Using a well-seasoned cast iron skillet prevents sticking and provides an even heat distribution.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Easy swaps

You can replace mozzarella pearls with crumbled goat cheese for a tangier flavor profile, or swap sun-dried tomatoes for roasted red peppers if preferred.
