I remember one Sunday morning, staring blankly into the refrigerator, feeling utterly uninspired. My friends were due over for brunch in less than an hour, and the usual omelets just weren’t going to cut it. I spotted a pint of cherry tomatoes, a ball of burrata calling my name, and a lightbulb went off. A frittata! But not just any frittata – a cherry tomato and burrata frittata, bursting with freshness and creamy decadence. It was a total hit, and now I’m sharing my take on it with you.

This Cherry Tomato and Burrata Frittata isn't just a recipe; it's an experience. The sweetness of the cherry tomatoes complements the creamy, luscious burrata, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. It’s quick, easy, and requires minimal effort, making it perfect for a lazy weekend brunch, a light lunch, or even a simple weeknight dinner. Plus, it’s endlessly customizable – feel free to add your favorite herbs, veggies, or cheeses to make it your own. And I can promise you, with this one you won't have leftovers.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Burrata? Isn’t that a bit fancy?” And sure, it might sound intimidating, but trust me, it's worth the extra few bucks. The creamy interior of the burrata is what takes this frittata from ordinary to extraordinary. But hey, if you can’t find burrata, don’t sweat it! Regular mozzarella will work just fine. So, grab your skillet, gather your ingredients, and let’s get cooking! This frittata is a real crowd-pleaser and I'm sure will impress anyone you made it for.

🍽 Ingredients

📖 Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensuring your oven is properly preheated will help the frittata cook evenly and achieve that lovely golden crust we’re aiming for.
  2. Lightly grease a large, oven-safe skillet with olive oil. I use about a tablespoon or so, just enough to coat the bottom nicely. This prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup later. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, don't worry—you can transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish later.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Don't over-whisk; just ensure everything is nicely incorporated. A little air is good, but too much can make the frittata puff up too much and then deflate.
  4. Heat the skillet over medium heat on the stovetop. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they begin to soften and release their juices. Keep an eye on them; you want them softened, not burnt. The natural sweetness of the tomatoes will really shine through here.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cherry tomatoes in the skillet. Let it cook on the stovetop for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set. You'll notice the mixture starting to firm up around the sides. This helps create a nice base before we move it to the oven.
  6. Gently tear the burrata cheese into smaller pieces and distribute them evenly over the top of the frittata. The creamy burrata will melt beautifully in the oven, adding a luxurious touch. Don't overcrowd it; you want each piece to have its own little melt-y moment.
  7. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Keep a close watch; oven temperatures can vary, and you want to avoid overcooking it. A slight jiggle in the center is okay; it will continue to set as it cools.
  8. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows it to firm up a bit more and makes it easier to cut into neat slices. I like to garnish it with a few fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy every bite!

📝 Notes

  • Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
  • If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.
