Tomato Basil Frittata Video
It is so quick and simple to make a tomato basil frittata. It only takes ten minutes to prepare, then pop it in the oven till the timer goes, ‘ding’! The results yield a fluffy, cheesy and savory quiche, seasoned to perfection.
Helpful hints: If you have a different sized pie plate, adjust the cooking time accordingly and make sure you only fill it ¾ of the way or it will overflow in the oven! Also, whisk flour together with one egg before beating in the rest of the eggs to avoid lumps of flour in your filling.
