Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), ensuring even cooking for that perfect frittata texture.
  2. In an oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.
  3. Using the bacon grease, sauté the diced potatoes and chopped onions in the same skillet for 10-12 minutes until they are tender and slightly golden.
  4. In a bowl, vigorously whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until fluffy. Mix in half of the shredded cheese.
  5. Crumble the crispy bacon into the skillet alongside the potatoes, then pour your egg mixture over everything. Top with the remaining cheese.
  6. Bake the frittata in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

Notes

Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
