Serves 6
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
- 8 Large Eggs
- ⅔ cup Heavy Cream
- ¾ tsp Kosher Salt
- ¼ cup Finely Chopped Fresh Basil
- ¼ cup Finely Chopped Fresh Dill
- ¼ cup Finely Chopped Fresh Mint
- ¼ cup Finely Chopped Fresh Parsley
- ¼ cup Thinly Sliced Scallions
- 1 (8-oz) Block French Feta, room temperature
- 2 tbsp Harissa (your preferred brand)
- 1 tsp Honey
Directions
- Place a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat it to 350°F. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into an 8-inch cast-iron skillet and put it in the oven to heat for about 10 minutes.
- While the skillet heats, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the basil, dill, mint, parsley, and scallions until everything is mixed.
- Take the hot skillet out of the oven and pour in the egg mixture. Set the block of French feta in the center, leaving the top of the cheese uncovered.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the frittata is puffed, lightly golden, and feels springy, and the edges of the feta are set.
- Mix the harissa, honey, and the last tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the frittata right before serving.
Pro-Tips
- Be sure the skillet is hot before you add the eggs. This helps the edges cook right away.
- Fresh herbs give the frittata a bright flavor. Feel free to use whatever herbs you have and adjust the amounts to your taste.
- If you don’t have harissa, try using a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika mixed with a little chili paste instead.
- You can keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days. Reheat them gently in the oven or microwave.
