Method 5 steps
Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Lightly spray or paper-line 6 muffin tins.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and basil and whisk well.
Using a 125 mL (½ cup) measuring cup, scoop batter into muffin tins until divided evenly. Add 15 mL (1 tbsp) of grated cheese on top of each frittata.
Cook frittatas in the oven for about 15 minutes. Use a digital food thermometer to check that the eggs have reached an internal temperature of 74 °C (165 °F).
Let cool for 3 to 5 minutes before removing from muffin tins.
