Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In an 8-inch skillet or cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add vegetables and cook until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in potatoes/hashbrowns and cook an additional 5 minutes. Sprinkle bacon and green onion over top.
  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the skillet and sprinkle with cheese and fresh herbs.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake 14-16 minutes or until eggs are set. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool 5 minutes before cutting. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure vegetables and meats are pre-cooked.
  • If you have raw potatoes, finely dice them and pan fry over medium heat for 12-14 minutes or until tender before adding veggies.
  • Heavy cream, whole milk, or Greek yogurt can substituted for half and half.  
  • Do not overcook. Check the pan at regular intervals. Remove from oven when it is just set, as it will continue to cook as it rests.
  • If the top is still not set enough for your liking, pop it under the broiler for a couple of minutes, but be sure not to overcook.
  • Leftover frittata reheats well and makes great sandwiches on toast!
