This Caprese Frittata with Prosciutto is perfect for breakfast or even a family dinner served with salad. It’s full of bursts of tomato & creamy cheese.
I am so excited to share with you that I am a brand ambassador for Egg Farmers of Canada this year! It’s such a great fit for me because Eggs are definitely my go-to when I don’t know what else to make, when I want to make something healthy, when I want to make something decadent. They are just so versatile. I can’t think of another ingredient with more uses than Eggs.
I appreciate the Egg Farmers of Canada commitment to providing all Canadians with a constant supply of fresh, local and high-quality eggs from over 1,000 egg farms and family farms across Canada. Can you imagine the logistics that goes into that? I think Canadians in general just love eggs, and indeed more and more young Canadians are taking over their family farms and taking part in egg farming. That is good news for the rest of us!
You can meet some of these egg farmers by checking out On The Farm and then head over to the Farmers’ Favourite section for some great recipes!
As I was saying, my family loves eggs. We usually buy two dozen at a time because we go through them so fast between pancakes for breakfast, poached eggs for lunch and delicious meals like my Caprese Frittata with Prosciutto and a side of salad for dinner it’s really no wonder!
Caprese Frittata with Prosciutto
Ingredients:
7 Large Eggs
1/2 Cup Milk or Cream
1 Cup Grape or Cherry Tomatoes, Sliced
1/2 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves, chopped
125g Prosciutto
1 Cup Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, cubed
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to Broil
Whisk together Eggs and Milk then stir in the rest of the ingredients, reserving some of each to place on the top for a nicer presentation (if desired).
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Pour Egg mixture into pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the bottom and edges are set then gently lift with a spatula to let the uncooked eggs on top flow underneath.
Cook until the top is almost set, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove skillet to oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy.
Remove from pan and cut into wedges.
Serve immediately.

This looks totally delicious. With fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden I saved this to Yumprint so I can make this. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
