Tomato Caprese Frittata | Dei Fratelli

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.

Preheat oven to broil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, whipping cream, basil, and if desired, crushed red pepper until well combined.

Stir in smoked cheese. Season with salt to taste. Cover; set aside.

In a 10-inch oven proof nonstick skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and garlic. Cook garlic for about 1 minute.

Stir in tomatoes and spinach; cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the tomato-mixture.

Cook frittata until almost set, running spatula around edges to allow uncooked mixture to flow underneath.

When edges are set and top is only slightly soft but not runny, arrange the mozzarella slices and whole basil leaves over top of frittata in a decorative manner.

Place frittata (in skillet) under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 4-6 minutes.

To serve, cut frittata into 8 wedges. If desired, serve each wedge with a side of arugula; drizzle arugula with balsamic vinaigrette. Serve immediately.
