On Saturday mornings, I like to sleep in and then laze in bed with coffee and back issues of The New Yorker. Eventually, I’ll get out of bed and make breakfast. During the week, I usually dive right into the day with nothing more than coffee, but on Saturdays, I take my time with a nice breakfast. Lately, this frittata has been my go-to Saturday morning breakfast (though I’ve also served these for lunch or dinner to great response), due to its combination of ease of preparation (so, um, it’s also hangover- friendly) and satisfying deliciousness. It puffs up into a filling and protein-rich bowl of savory egg-iness and the grape tomatoes turn very sweet and juicy, thanks to their being left whole. The frittata is great with toast, but it doesn’t need it. This is also an easy recipe to reduce (I usually make just one or two at a time), or multiply. Additionally, all the ingredients can be poured into a greased cake pan or casserole dish and then cut into wedges or squares after being cooked.
