Michelle's Yummy Frittata

Ingredients

• 8 oz. bacon, chopped (8 slices)

• 3 oz. fresh spinach, roughly chopped (3 packed cups)

• 8 large eggs

• 1/4 cup half and half

• 1/2 tsp onion powder

• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

• 2/3 cup (2.8 oz) shredded swiss cheese

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 - 10 inch deep pie dish, set aside.


• Place bacon in a 12-inch non-stick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, tossing frequently, until browned and crisp, about 6 - 10 minutes. 


• Transfer bacon to a plate lined with several layers of paper towels to drain, leave 1 Tbsp rendered bacon fat in a skillet drain and reserve or discard excess.


• Return skillet to medium-high heat, add spinach and saute just briefly until it has wilted, about 15 - 30 seconds, transfer spinach to plate with bacon.


• In a large mixing bowl whisk together eggs, half and half, onion powder, garlic powder until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste*.


• Add cooked bacon, tomatoes, spinach and swiss and toss mixture to distribute ingredients. Pour into prepared pie dish.


• Bake in preheated oven until just set, about 30 - 35 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve warm.


Notes

• *Season lightly with salt as the bacon and cheese will add salt. I only needed about 1/4 tsp salt.
