Cuisine: Dairy Free
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 4 strips of bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by dicing potatoes into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/2 inch), chopping bacon into small pieces, and finely dicing the onion.
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Ensure the skillet is oven-safe as you'll be finishing the frittata under the broiler.
- Add chopped bacon to the skillet and cook until it becomes crisp and releases its fat, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- In the same skillet, add diced potatoes and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- While potatoes are cooking, crack eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly frothy.
- When potatoes are cooked, spread them evenly in the skillet and sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces over the top.
- Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the potatoes and bacon, ensuring the eggs flow between the ingredients.
- Cook on stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set and look slightly firm.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the top is golden and the eggs are completely set.
- Remove from broiler and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Carefully slide the frittata onto a serving plate or cut and serve directly from the skillet.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot.
Tips
- Use an oven-safe skillet: This is crucial for seamlessly transitioning from stovetop to broiler.
- Prep ingredients in advance: Dice potatoes, chop bacon, and whisk eggs before you start cooking to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Watch the broiler carefully: Eggs can go from perfectly golden to burnt in seconds, so keep a close eye on your frittata.
- Let it rest: Allowing the frittata to sit for a few minutes after cooking helps it set and makes it easier to slice.
- Customize your frittata: Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or swap bacon for ham or turkey bacon to suit your taste.
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs will give you the best texture and flavor in your frittata.
- Season generously: Don't be shy with salt and pepper - they bring out the flavors of the bacon and potatoes.
