Bacon and Cheese Frittata
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon, chopped
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler in your oven.
- In a 10-inch non-stick, oven-safe skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet with the bacon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the bacon and vegetables. Cook over medium heat, lifting the edges of the frittata with a spatula to let the uncooked egg flow underneath, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the frittata and place the skillet under the broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley over the top of the frittata.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy!
