📖 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!
