Ingredients

5 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise

2 tablespoons olive oil 

2 teaspoons dried basil 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

8 large eggs 

1/3 cup half-and-half 

1 garlic clove, grated 

8 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
  2. Toss the tomatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Arrange the tomatoes on the prepared baking pan cut-side up and roast until they are slightly shrunken and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the skins and cut each tomato in half lengthwise.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
  4. Whisk the eggs, half-and-half and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Grate the garlic over the oil and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs and distribute the tomatoes and the mozzarella evenly. Cook on the stove until the bottom and edges are just starting to set, about 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until just set in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Let stand at least 5 minutes. The frittata can be served warm or at room temperature.

So tasty!  I did not have plum tomatoes, so I used what I had on hand.  Trying to take the skin off made them completely fall apart, so I left half of them with the skin on after roasting.  I also added fresh basil, which was wonderful!  My hubby also suggested that I add bacon next time! Thanks for the awesome anytime recipe!  :-)
