Recipe for frittata with sun-dried tomatoes in our easy vegetarian recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes, dry or in oil and drained
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • Pinch of fresh thyme leaves
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make frittata with sun-dried tomatoes

  • Place the tomatoes in a small bowl and pour on enough hot water to just cover them.
  • Soak for about 15 minutes.
  • Lift the tomatoes out of the water and slice them into thin strips.
  • Reserve the soaking water.
  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick or heavy frying pan.
  • Stir in the onion and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until soft and golden.
  • Add the tomatoes and thyme and continue to stir over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Break the eggs into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork.
  • Stir in 3 to 4 tablespoons of the tomato soaking water and the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Raise the heat under the pan.
  • When the oil is sizzling, pour in the eggs.
  • Mix them quickly into the other ingredients and stop stirring.
  • Lower the heat to moderate and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until the frittata is puffed and golden brown underneath.
  • Take a large plate, place it 5 upside down over the pan and, holding it firmly with oven gloves, turn the pan and the frittata over on to it.
  • Slide the frittata back into the pan and continue cooking until golden brown on the second side, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • The frittata can be served hot, at room temperature or cold.
  • Cut it into wedges to serve.
  • Adding just a few sun-dried tomatoes gives this frittata a distinctly mediterranean flavour.
