Frittata With Bread And Cherry Tomatoes

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream or half-and-half
• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely minced chives
• 2 tablespoons finely grated Pecorino Romano
• Kosher salt + freshly ground black pepper
• 3 cups stale, rustic bread cubes (3/4- to 1-inch cubes)
• 1 heaping cup cherry tomatoes, mixed colors and varieties if possible
• 1 handful of roughly torn basil leaves

1. To prepare the cherry tomato salad:rnCut the cherry tomatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size. Place the tomatoes in a salad bowl and add 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, basil, and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside while preparing the frittata.
2. To prep the frittata:rnIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, chives, Pecorino Romano, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. rnrnAdd the bread cubes and stir to thoroughly coat each piece. Soak, stirring occasionally, until the bread has soaked up almost all of the eggs. Fresher, softer bread will only take 3 to 5 minutes, while older, staler bread will take 10 to 15 minutes.
3. To cook the frittata:rnHeat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a 10" nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the egg-soaked bread mixture, pressing it down with your hands or a spatula into an even layer. Cook until the frittata is golden brown and solid enough to flip over. Slip the frittata onto a plate and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil in the skillet. Return the frittata to the pan on its second side. Don't worry if it breaks up a little during the flipping or transfer - just piece and press it back together with your hands. Cook until it's golden brown and crisp on the second side, then transfer to a cutting board.
4. To serve: Slice the frittata into large wedges, and top each wedge with tomato salad, making sure to include the tomato juices that have accumulated in the bottom of the bowl.
