Spinach, Onion, Bacon & Swiss Frittata

Frittata is a fast and easy way to make a delicious dinner. Here is another frittata recipe I just made last night – this time with bacon, onion, spinach, red pepper and swiss cheese. A great recipe for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner! Don’t forget to check out my Asparagus, Shallot and Provolone Frittata too!

Ingredients:

• 5 large eggs
• 1/4 cup of milk or cream
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 slices of uncooked bacon, cut into small pieces
• 1 small onion, finely diced (heaping 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 cup of diced red pepper
• 2 cups of packed baby spinach
• 1/2 cup of grated swiss cheese

Directions:

1. Pre-heat the broiler on your oven (for a 10″ skillet you can just use the lower setting)
2. Combine the eggs with milk or cream and whisk until combined. Add in a few grinds of freshly ground black pepper
3. Heat 10″ non-stick oven-proof skillet on medium-high heat.
4. Add the bacon pieces and cook until starting to brown.
5. Add the onion and red pepper to the skillet with the bacon, and cook until the onion and red pepper have softened (about 2-5 minutes). Season with some grinds of freshly ground pepper.
6. Turn the heat down to medium, and add the spinach to the skillet and combine until spinach has wilted.
7. Add the egg mixture to the skillet. Top the eggs with the grated cheese distributing it evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook for 2 minutes untouched.
8. Remove the cover and place the skillet in the oven. Watching carefully, let the eggs cook for 4 minutes until they begin to brown slightly.
9. Remove the skillet from the oven, and let it sit for 2 minutes.
10. Using a spatula, carefully slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a serving plate.
11. Serve the frittata with a side salad and a nice piece of crusty bread for a nice light and tasty dinner. A 10″ frittata is the perfect amount for dinner for my husband and I and sometimes a bit leftover for lunch the next day.
