Veggie and Herb Frittata

(from desert.rose32’s recipe box)

Categories: Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup fat free half-and-half
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup packed fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) shredded fontina cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 6 tablespoons fresh chopped basil, divided
  • 4 ounces goat cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, on a rimmed, aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from heat 5 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool slightly.

  2. Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.

  3. Heat butter in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add spinach; cook about 30 seconds or until spinach barely begins to wilt. Pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle with fontina, dill, and 4 tablespoons basil; stir gently with a fork.

  4. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides down, over egg mixture; press down gently with the back of a spatula. Crumble goat cheese evenly over the frittata. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cook about 6 minutes or until frittata is almost set but still runny on top.

  5. Broil 6 inches from heat 2 minutes or until completely set and golden brown. Remove from oven, and let stand 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons basil. Cut into wedges and serve.
