Bacon and Vegetable Frittata

I often forget how easy frittata’s are to make. They can be the best dish to use up all those veggies that are about to go bad and a satisfying meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

There are thousands of combinations and all you need is a base of a half dozen eggs, vegetables, cheese and some fresh herbs. My favorite frittata has tomatoes, broccoli, scallions, monterey jack cheese, garlic, tomatoes and of course bacon.

Ingredients

7 Eggs

1/4 cup heavy cream

3 slices bacon

1/2 cup chopped broccoli

5 scallions, finely diced

1/2 cup monterey jack cheese

1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic

Salt/Pepper

Directions

• Turn broiler to High.
• Cook bacon 4-5 minutes until crisp. Remove from pan and get rid of the grease.
• Add the broccoli and scallions and cook 2-3 minutes. Add in the can of tomatoes and stir until incorporated.
• Combine the eggs, cream, cheese, salt/pepper in a bowl and whisk until incorporated. Pour egg mixture into pan with broccoli, add bacon back in and cook 2-3 minutes until about 1/4 set.
• Place skillet in oven and cook for 5-6 minutes about 6 inches from broiler until eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Frittata’s are an easy meal for a busy weeknight or a great brunch treat. It’s up to you to come up with your favorite combinations.

Wine Pairing: 2009 Grigio Luna Pinot Grigio

This was a light, crisp wine with very noticeable flavors of pear. This retails for $8-$11 a bottle and is a nice everyday white.
