Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup brie cheese, chopped
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your frittata cooks evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Whisk them together until fully combined and frothy. This will give your frittata a rich and creamy texture.
- Add salt and pepper to taste into the egg mixture. Start with a pinch of salt and a few cracks of pepper, and adjust according to your preference.
- In a skillet or oven-safe frying pan, cook the 4 slices of bacon over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel to drain excess grease. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender. This will enhance the flavor and texture of the spinach.
- Once the spinach is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Add the crumbled bacon and chopped brie cheese to the skillet, stirring to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon, spinach, and brie in the skillet. Gently stir to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious low carb bacon brie frittata!
Tips
- • Use room temperature eggs for a smoother, more even mixture • Make sure to drain bacon thoroughly to prevent excess grease • Choose a high-quality, creamy brie for maximum flavor • Don't overmix the eggs—gentle whisking creates a lighter texture • Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after baking to help it set • For extra richness, you can add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives or thyme • If you're meal prepping, this frittata reheats beautifully and stays good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
