Frittata Anyone?

Here's a quick breakfast recipe that can serve up to 5 people. It's call a frittata, which is an italian dish similar to a quiche or omelette.  The beauty of a frittata is that you can put whatever you like in it, such as potatoes, meats, veggies, and cheese. I will share the recipe for the one I made last week when we had friends over.  The prep is about 15 minutes and the cook time is about 25 minutes.  I will call this the Potato, Bacon, and Cheddar Frittata.

Ingredients


6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
4 strips of bacon
1 baking potato
1/2 cup of sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
3 tbsp olive oil

Preheat oven to Broil. Start by peeling the potato and cutting up into bite size pieces. Cook the bacon as directed on the package. Combine the eggs, cream/milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth. You will need a skillet that can also go into the oven (meaning, the handle won't melt). Once you locate that skillet, put about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in it and warm over low to medium-low heat. Add the potatoes to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and allow them to cook until browned and soft (about 15 minutes), stirring often. When potatoes are ready, add the eggs to the same skillet on top of the potatoes.  Crumble the bacon into the skillet right after adding the eggs. Do not stir the eggs, just allow them to stiffen. This will take about 5 minutes. When they are almost cooked through but still a little yolky on top, add the cheese, and place into the oven. Broil for about 4 minutes or until browned on top.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.  Use a spatula to loosen around the edges and carefully remove the frittata in one piece to a serving plate and cut into pie-like slices.

Serve with a fruit salad and mimosas. Yummy!
