Frittata with Broccoli, Potato, Bacon and Cheddar

Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time40 minutes
Total Time1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 4 slices turkey bacon cooked & chopped
  • 2 small red potatoes peeled & diced small
  • ½ onion diced small
  • 1 ½ cups broccoli chopped small
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup spinach torn into small pieces
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 4 egg whites
  • ½ cup milk of choice
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • ½ tsp turmeric optional
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese shredded, divided
  • 2 bunches scallions sliced thin

Instructions

  • Place a large pan, over medium-high heat. Add the turkey bacon and cook for 8 minutes, flip, and cook another 8 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside about 2 TBSP to garnish on top. Wipe the bacon grease from the pan.
  • In the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and cook for ten minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onion and broccoli and cook for 10-12 minutes until broccoli is soft and potatoes are lightly browned. (cook longer if you want the potato slightly more crispy)
  • Add the garlic and spinach to the pan and stir until spinach is wilted. Stir in the bacon (minus the 2 TBSP). Take the pan off the heat and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Lightly grease 11x7 casserole dish (or 10 inch round oven-safe pan)
  • In a medium bowl add eggs, milk, basil and pepper (turmeric is optional, feel free to season with your taste preference); whisk well. Add ½ cup cheese and stir to combine.
  • Place ½ the veggie mixture into the casserole dish. Pour egg mixture into the dish. Scatter remaining vegetables over the eggs. Sprinkle the 2 TBSP of bacon on top.
  • Put the dish in the oven and bake until just set, about 35-40 minutes. After 30 minutes, top with remaining (1/4 cup) cheese and scallions. Place back in the oven. You will know when it is done when the center of the eggs no longer jiggle. Note the frittata will continue cooking from residual heat for ten minutes after taking it out of the oven. So be sure not to overcook it.
  • Once the Frittata is done baking, remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy plain, or add your favorite condiment like hot sauce, pesto or salsa.

Note* if using a bigger dish to bake the frittata, adjust time accordingly. The frittata will be thinner in a bigger dish, so it will need less time to cook. Or you can add 1-2 more eggs to the recipe to keep the same thickness
