Frittata with Sun-dried Tomatoes Recipe

Adding just a few sun-dried tomatoes gives this frittata a distinctly Mediterranean flavor.

 

Ingredients

  • eggs - 8

  • sun-dried tomatoes - 8

  • Parmesan cheese - 75g

  • small onion - 1, chopped

  • a pinch of fresh thyme leaves

  • olive oil - 5 tbsp

  • ground black pepper and salt

Method

  • Place the tomatoes in a small bowl and pour on enough hot water to cover them, soak for 20 minutes, lift the tomatoes out of the water and slice them into strips. Reserve the soaking water.

  • Heat the oil in a pan, stir in the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft and golden. Add the tomatoes and thyme and continue to stir over moderate heat for 3 minutes. Season with pepper and salt.

  • Break the eggs into a bowl, beat lightly with fork, stir in 4 tbsp of the tomato soaking water and the cheese.

  • Raise the heat under the pan, pour in the eggs, mix them quickly into the other ingredients. Lower the heat to moderate and cook for 5 minutes on the first side until the frittata is puffed and golden brown underneath.

  • Turn the frittata over to another side and continue to cook 4 minutes until golden brown on the second side.

  • Remove from heat, serve the frittata hot. Cut into wedges to serve. Serves 5.
