Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cooked potatoes, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure an oven-safe 10-inch skillet is available for cooking.
- Cook bacon in the skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside on paper towels to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet with remaining bacon fat, sauté the diced cooked potatoes for 3-4 minutes until they develop a light golden color and are heated through.
- Add fresh spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts and reduces in volume.
- Crumble the cooked bacon and sprinkle it over the potatoes and spinach in the skillet.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the whisked eggs evenly over the potato, spinach, and bacon mixture in the skillet.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the frittata to set completely.
- Slice into wedges and serve hot, directly from the skillet.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked potatoes for faster preparation and ensure they're diced uniformly for even cooking.
- Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transfer from stovetop to oven.
- Don't overcook the eggs—they should be set but still slightly soft and creamy in the center.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to set completely and make slicing easier.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, gruyère, or goat cheese.
- If you're watching calories, you can use turkey bacon or reduce the bacon quantity without compromising taste.
- Fresh spinach works best, but frozen spinach (well-drained) can be a convenient alternative.
