About the Recipe
This easy frittata can be customized to use whatever vegetables and cheese you have on hand. Love the flavor combination of gruyere, tomatoes, and basil!
Ingredients
8 eggs
½ cup milk
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 shallot, sliced thin
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup basil, chopped
½ cup shredded gruyere cheese
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare a campfire or charcoal for cooking.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a Dutch-oven or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until soft and beginning to brown, 7-10 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to medium-low by raising your campfire grate or moving the Dutch-oven/skillet to the cooler side of the grill. Add the tomatoes to the skillet, followed by the egg mixture, basil, and cheese. Cover with a lid. Scatter a few embers across the lid.
Step 5
Cook until the frittata has puffed up and the eggs are just set, about 15 minutes (check at 10 minutes to gauge progress, using heat proof gloves or a lid lifter to remove the lid).
Serve with additional cheese and basil if desired and enjoy!
