One of the things I love about frittatas is that they’re great brunch food. Pair with a side salad for an elegant but light lunch-like brunch, or with some fresh fruit and a little sausage or bacon for a more hearty breakfast-like meal. They’re also super easy to prepare – only taking 10-15 minutes of hand-on time in the kitchen, making them a great choice for entertaining.
Note: My version is just about double the original recipe, with a couple of adjustments.
Tomato Asiago Frittata
Adapted from Cooking Light, July 2015
Serves 8
Ingredients:
- 4 Tbs. half-and-half
- 2 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 12 large eggs
- 2 Tbs. olive oil
- 1/2 c. thinly sliced shallots
- 2-3 oz. Asiago cheese, grated (about 1/2 c. grated cheese)
- 2 c. halved cherry tomatoes
- sprigs of thyme, for garnish
Heat a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together half-and-half, thyme, salt, pepper, and eggs. When pan is hot, add oil, swirling pan to coat. Add shallots, sauteing until translucent. Add egg mixture, cooking until eggs are partially set, about 5-8 minutes.
As eggs are cooking, preheat broiler to high.
When eggs are partially set, sprinkle frittata with half of the cheese, top with tomatoes, and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Transfer pan to the preheated oven and broil until top is lightly browned and eggs are set, about 5 minutes.
Remove pan from oven. Cut frittata into 8 wedges and garnish with thyme springs.
Serve hot.

That looks cooked perfectly. So yummy!
I’ve not tried quiche with tomato by themselves, sounds very good!
Great switch up on the cheese instead of parm or cheddar!
Love the addition of Thyme and Shallots! Yum!
I love everything about this. The tomatoes add such gorgeous color, don’t they?
Yum! Looks delicious! Love the combination of tomatoes and asiago.
