Description

A hearty and comforting frittata inspired by Ina Garten, filled with crispy bacon, tender potatoes, onions, and creamy eggs baked to perfection.


Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups diced potatoes (about 2 small potatoes)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
  3. Add diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 8–10 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Stir in the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and half the cheese.
  6. Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and spread evenly over the potato mixture.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the skillet ingredients and top with the remaining cheese.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center.
  9. Garnish with chives or parsley before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe cast iron or stainless steel skillet.
  • Substitute ham or sausage for bacon if desired.
  • Add spinach or roasted peppers for extra veggies.
