Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 8 to 10-inch skillet or saute pan. Add the onion, and cook slowly until the onion is wilted and translucent. Add the hot sauce. Add the tomatoes, raise the heat, and cook for several minutes, stirring, or until the liquid has evaporated. Drain off the fat and transfer the tomatoes and onions to a bowl. (If desired, add well-drained artichoke hearts here.) Mix in salt and pepper, then cheese and basil.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper until blended, but not smooth. In a well-seasoned 8 to 10-inch skillet (non-stick works well), heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Arrange the tomato and onion mixture in the bottom of the skillet, and pour the eggs over the top, pressing the top down with a fork so the solids are covered. Stir a little. Cook over medium heat until the eggs begin to bubble gently around the edges.
- Immediately place the frittata in the center of the oven and cook until it is puffy and set in the center, about 10 minutes. Slide out onto a serving plate. Serve immediately or set aside and serve at room temperature. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and more hot red pepper sauce.

Steps:
- In a small nonstick skillet (I use 8-inch), over medium heat, sauté the onions until translucent.
- Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
- Add basil and cook 2 more minutes.
- Place in a bowl and let cool slightly.
- Clean out the pan and spray with nonstick spray.
- Beat the eggs the water and 3 tablespoons Parmesan until a little foamy and pour into the nonstick skillet.
- Pour the veggie mixture into the eggs and mix it up a bit.
- Cook over low heat, without stirring, about 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set- it will still be a bit runny on top.
- While eggs are cooking, heat up your broiler and after eggs have set, sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top and broil until bubbly and lightly brown.
- Great for weekend brunch!

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Gently mix in the tomatoes and torn basil leaves.
- Use the oil to coat the bottom of a heavy ovenproof skillet or omelet pan (about 11 inches) and place over high heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until the sides of the frittata begin to set and bubble slightly, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, push the sides of the frittata toward the center of the pan and gently tilt the pan so that the uncooked egg runs down to the bottom of the skillet.
- Lower the heat to medium, cover and continue cooking for an additional 9 to 10 minutes, periodically pushing sides in again and allowing uncooked egg to run to the bottom. (If the top of the frittata is still very wet, place the skillet under a hot broiler for 3 to 4 minutes until set.)
- Loosen the frittata by gently shaking the pan (use a spatula if necessary) and slip it onto a large platter. Surround with greens and more torn basil leaves. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
