Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 3 green onions thinly sliced
  • 6 egg large
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Add the butter to an 8-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Saute the green onion until tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. While the onions cook, beat the eggs with the milk in a small bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  4. When the onions are tender, pour the egg mixture to the pan. Stir in the parsley and crumbled bacon.
  5. Cook for 4-5 minutes, lifting the edges of the egg mixture to allow uncooked mixture to flow underneath.
  6. 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.
  7. Place in the oven for about 6-8 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional parsley, if desired.
  9. 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.
