🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This gets the oven ready for baking the frittata, ensuring it cooks evenly.
- While the oven preheats, get your bacon ready. Slice it into smaller pieces and cook it in your oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook until it's nice and crispy. Once the bacon is done, take it out of the skillet and set it aside, but leave about a tablespoon of the bacon fat in the skillet—it adds great flavor!
- Now, it's time to cook the onions and garlic. Add them to the skillet with the bacon fat and cook until they're softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir often to prevent burning. Onions should be translucent, and the garlic should smell amazing!
- Next, add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes, or until they're tender and slightly browned. Stir them occasionally to make sure they cook evenly. You want them soft enough to be easily pierced with a fork.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Make sure there aren't any lumps and that the mixture is smooth and consistent. This ensures the frittata will have a nice, even texture.
- Stir in the cooked bacon and half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture. This distributes the flavors evenly throughout the frittata. The cheese will melt slightly and add a creamy texture.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the skillet, making sure everything is evenly distributed. Use a spatula to gently spread the mixture around so the potatoes are submerged.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the frittata. This creates a delicious, cheesy crust that everyone will love.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Once the frittata is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps it set and makes it easier to cut into clean slices. Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
- Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your Modern Meal Remix Frittata!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a splash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the frittata to a baking dish after cooking the vegetables on the stovetop.
