Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by cracking the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt until they are thoroughly mixed and slightly frothy. This ensures a light and fluffy texture. Set the bowl aside.
2. 2.
   Heat the olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and sauté them for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices, giving the frittata a rich and slightly tangy base.
3. 3.
   Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs over the tomatoes. Let the eggs cook gently without stirring, allowing the edges to set for a few minutes. This helps in achieving a delicate, custardy center.
4. 4.
   Sprinkle the chopped basil evenly over the eggs, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the top is just set. The lid traps heat and helps to cook the eggs evenly. If the surface is too raw, cook for an additional minute or two, making sure not to overcook to maintain a soft texture.
5. 5.
   Once cooked, slide the frittata onto a plate. If it sticks, gently loosen the edges with a spatula first. Serve immediately, savoring the harmonious blend of fresh basil, rich tomatoes, and savory Parmesan.
