Giada's Caprese Frittata Brunch Recipe

fresh mozzarella

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: shredded mozzarella

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while still offering creaminess.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated Pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Break 7 eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined.

Add a little heavy cream to the eggs for creaminess.

Season the egg mixture with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.

Heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.

Add halved cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook until they start to break down, about a couple of minutes.

Pour the egg mixture over the cooked tomatoes and add torn basil leaves on top.

Let it cook until the edges start to set, about a few minutes.

Transfer the skillet under the broiler for about 6 minutes to cook the top until golden brown.

Remove from the broiler and garnish with fresh mozzarella and additional tomatoes.
