Chef's Note

The key to a perfect frittata is gentle heat - if your stovetop runs hot, reduce to medium-low when cooking the eggs initially. This prevents a rubbery texture and ensures a tender, custard-like interior.

Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup whole milk

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 4 ounces fontina cheese

  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • 2

    Crack 8 large eggs into a medium bowl. Add 1/4 cup whole milk, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.

  • 3

    Peel and finely dice 1/2 medium yellow onion. Peel and mince 2 cloves of garlic.

  • 4

    Wash 1 cup cherry tomatoes and slice them in half.

  • 5

    Wash fresh herbs. Stack 1/4 cup basil leaves, roll them together, and slice into thin ribbons (chiffonade). Pick and chop 1 tablespoon fresh oregano and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves.

  • 6

    Grate 4 ounces of fontina cheese.

  • 7

    Heat a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil.

  • 8

    Add diced onion to the hot oil and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and beginning to soften.

  • 9

    Add minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  • 10

    Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.

  • 11

    Sprinkle half of the chopped herbs (reserving the rest for topping) into the skillet and stir to combine.

  • 12

    Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Allow to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.

  • 13

    Sprinkle the grated fontina cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.

  • 14

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the eggs are set in the center but still slightly jiggly.

  • 15

    Turn the oven to broil and broil for 1-2 minutes to lightly brown the top of the frittata. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  • 16

    Remove from oven (remember the handle will be very hot) and let rest for 2 minutes.

  • 17

    Sprinkle the remaining fresh herbs over the top of the frittata.

  • 18

    Slice into wedges and serve warm.
