Recipe: Baked Tomato & Basil Frittata
Ingredients:
- ghee or coconut oil (and extra to grease tray)
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped roughly
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 10 eggs
- 3 tbsp. water
- 3 fresh tomatoes, chopped roughly
- 1 bunch of basil leaves
- salt and pepper to taste
How to:
Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees. In a pan add the ghee or coconut oil and cook chopped onion until soft. Stir in crushed garlic, chopped tomatoes, and salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes until tomatoes are soft. Then beat the eggs and water until you have a smooth consistency. Pour the eggs and cooked tomato + onion combo and the fresh basil into a greased pan (I used a pyrex container one which was 35cm (length) by 24cm (width) by 7cm (height)). Stir in the fresh basil. Bake for about 30-40 minutes OR until cooked through (it shouldn’t wobble at all once cooked).

Yum, I love frittatas! too bad my family doesn’t feel the same :P
I love eggs and am always looking for new ways to prepare them. This was great. Thank you.
Do you think I could make this ahead of time and just keep in it the fridge until I’m ready to bake it?
Definitely! It just depends on how long you want to keep in the fridge for before you cook it.
