Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add the cherry tomatoes and spinach, cooking for 1-2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 7

Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the skillet, then sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, tilting the skillet gently to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.

Step 9

Cook on the stovetop over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata start to set.

Carefully transfer the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped parsley and basil.

Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
