Ingredient Notes

The four main ingredients are ripe tomatoes, Spanish smoked paprika, eggs, and fresh basil. Use vine-ripened tomatoes for the best flavor, and feel free to substitute any soft herb for basil. For a dairy-free option, leave out any cheese additions.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until well combined, then fold them into the tomato mixture.
  2. Prepare a steamer and pour the mixture into a heat-proof dish. Steam for about 15 minutes or until the eggs are set.
  3. Garnish with fresh basil before serving warm.

Things I’ve Learned

Steaming the frittata keeps it moist and allows the flavors to meld beautifully. It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently in a pan or microwave. For a make-ahead option, prepare the mixture the night before and steam it in the morning.

FAQs
