- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes sliced into rounds, divided

- 9 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup basil leaves roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup diced fresh mozzarella cheese

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Heat a 10 inch oven-proof, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, chopped spinach and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture on top of the tomatoes in the hot skillet. Stir slightly to incorporate the tomatoes into the eggs. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese cubes over the fritatta.
- Cook the eggs over medium heat until the bottom of the frittata sets. You can lift the edges of the frittata around the pan to let the uncooked egg settle to the bottom.

- Garnish with sliced tomatoes, chopped basil or microgreens.
