Tomato and Basil Frittata

Here's an easy dish made with fresh vegetables from our garden, including the eggs too. Frittata is Italian for omelette. It can be prepared on the stovetop or baked in the oven. The finished result is firm egg dish that is nicely brown on the top and edges. This makes a wonderful meal for brunch or breakfast.

10 medium sized eggs
¼ cup milk
2 slices day-old bread, cut into small cubes

1 tsp. dried sage
¼ cup basil, chopped finely
1 Tbsp. butter
