Quiche Lorraine Style Frittata
This Quiche Lorraine Style Frittata combines baby potatoes, smoky lardons, eggs, and cheddar cheese to mimic the flavors of quiche in a skillet-cooked dish. The potatoes are boiled and pan-fried until golden, then layered over a gently cooking egg mixture with bacon and cheese melted on top. The dish offers a hearty texture with crispy edges and soft, creamy eggs inside, making it a practical alternative to traditional quiche.

Ingredients
- 250 g British gems (or other baby new potatoes)
- 90 g lardons (or chopped up smoked bacon)
- 6 egg large
- 50 g cheddar cheese (or gruyere), grated
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- butter small knob
- parsley optional, for garnish
- Side salad to serve with frittata
- baked beans to serve with frittata
Instructions
- Start by cooking the whole new potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes – until they are just done. Drain and then chop into thick slices.
- Meanwhile fry up the lardons in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Tip out onto a plate but don’t wash up the pan yet!
- Next crack all the eggs into a jug, add half the cheese and some salt and pepper and mix together thoroughly with a fork.
- Put the frying pan back on the heat and add the sliced potato – cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Tip onto a plate.
- Now give the frying pan a quick wash and dry, then put it back over a medium heat and melt a small knob of butter. When the butter is foaming, turn the heat down and add the eggs. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
- While the egg is cooking in the pan, place the potato slices on top of the egg (some may sink – don’t worry that’s fine) and then scatter the lardons on top. Finally scatter over the remaining cheese.
- Next turn your grill up to high and when the timer goes, pop the frittata under the grill to brown – this should take about 3 minutes, but watch your frittata carefully, you don’t want it to burn!
- Finally, serve your frittata scattered with parsley and with a side salad…or baked beans, if you prefer!
