Frittata

Typically every weekend morning my husband wakes up pretty hungry and very thirsty for his coffee. :) So this morning rather than resorting to my usual eggs and bacon I decided to try something new. I'm not quite sure why I have never made a frittata before because it was so easy peasy! And it's especially great that you can really just throw anything you have in the fridge in this meal. I cut this recipe in half because it was just us two.

Ingredients:

• 8 eggs
• ½ cup whole milk
• ½ lb fresh spinach, rinsed, dried and torn into roughly 1-inch pieces
• 8 slices bacon
• ½ large onion, peeled and diced
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• Kosher salt, to taste

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.


2. Cook the bacon in a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. When bacon is crispy, remove it from the pan, drain on paper towels and set aside. When it's cool, roughly chop it into ¼ inch pieces — or just crumble it up.


3. Reserve about 2 Tbsp of bacon fat, then add diced onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes or until it's slightly translucent.


4. Turn off the heat under the pan, then add the spinach pieces and stir with a wooden spoon for a minute until the leaves are fully wilted.


5. In a glass mixing bowl, thoroughly beat the eggs until nice and frothy. Add the milk and stir until combined. Season to taste with Kosher salt.


6. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and sprinkle the bacon pieces in as well. Give everything a stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. This is the last time you're going to stir, so get it all out of your system now!


7. Turn the heat under the skillet back on to about medium and cook for about 5 minutes or until the egg begins to set. No stirring!


8. Add the grated cheese, sprinkling it evenly across the top, and then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked.
