Bacon and Cheese Frittata
Description
This Bacon and Cheese Frittata starts by sautéing green onions in butter until tender, then adding a beaten egg mixture seasoned with salt and pepper. Crumbled cooked bacon and chopped fresh parsley are stirred in, creating a hearty filling. The eggs are cooked gently on the stove to begin setting, with edges lifted to allow uncooked egg to flow beneath. Once partially set but still soft on top, the frittata is topped with swirled sour cream and grated Monterey Jack cheese before transferring to a preheated oven to finish cooking, resulting in a puffed and golden finish. The balance of smoky bacon, creamy cheese, and fresh herbs offers a rich and satisfying flavor profile.
Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature for breakfast, brunch, or a casual dinner. It can be paired with a salad or toast for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 6 egg large
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 4 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup Monterey jack cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the butter to an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Saute the green onion until tender, about 3 minutes.
- While the onions cook, beat the eggs with the milk in a small bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
- When the onions are tender, pour the egg mixture to the pan. Stir in the parsley and crumbled bacon.
- Cook for 4-5 minutes, lifting the edges of the egg mixture to allow uncooked mixture to flow underneath.
- When eggs are beginning to set but still very soft, remove the pan from the heat and swirl the sour cream on the top. Sprinkle with the cheese.
- Place in the oven for about 6-8 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and golden.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional parsley, if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Substitute bacon with other proteins like ham, sausage, or roasted chicken to vary the dish.
- Cheese swaps such as Gruyere, Swiss, cheddar, Parmesan, or feta provide different flavor profiles.
