Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 ripe avocados, mashed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 12 slices crusty sourdough bread, toasted
  • Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh radishes, thinly sliced
  • 8 cups mixed greens (baby spinach, arugula, kale mix)
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette
  • 1 bottle sparkling rosé, chilled
  • 2 liters freshly brewed iced tea, lightly sweetened with honey
  • Fresh mint leaves and lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, and Parmesan cheese gently.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Pour in the egg mixture and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until edges start to set but center is still jiggly.
  5. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden on top and firm to the touch.
  6. While the frittata bakes, mash avocados with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Spread over toasted sourdough slices and top with radish slices.
  7. Assemble the salad by tossing mixed greens, strawberries, toasted walnuts, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette just before serving.
  8. Prepare beverages by brewing iced tea and chilling it. Add fresh mint and lemon slices to sparkling rosé.
  9. Just before serving, slice the frittata into 12 portions and arrange everything on the serving table.
  10. Enjoy your Perfect Summer Brunch Party Menu with your guests!

Notes

Bring eggs to room temperature before whisking for even cooking. Prepare avocado toast just before serving to keep bread crunchy. Toss salad with vinaigrette right before serving to avoid wilting. If frittata seems wet after baking, let it sit a few minutes to firm up. Multitask by prepping avocado toast and salad while frittata bakes.
