Bacon and Cheese Frittata
This savory dish combines the richness of eggs with the smoky goodness of bacon and the delicious melt of cheese. Perfect for any meal of the day, it’s versatile and can be customized with your favorite vegetables.
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or your favorite blend)
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the bacon grease. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, return the bacon to the skillet and pour the egg mixture over the top. Stir gently to combine everything evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the middle.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
