To play around with the flavors of this Caprese frittata, you could try substituting the roasted tomatoes for fresh tomatoes for a quicker dish (just be careful this doesn’t make the frittata ), heritage tomatoes for a beautiful array of colors, or even a sun-dried tomato variety to add an even deeper tomato flavor. You could try adding different fresh herbs alongside the basil, such as thyme or oregano. While mozzarella is the traditional Caprese ingredient, you could swap this out for a ball of fresh burrata served on top of the frittata once it is baked.
Finally, for any meat lovers out there, bacon makes a wonderful addition to this dish. Simply chop it up and then fry it before adding it to the cream and egg mixture along with the basil and tomatoes.
