Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, drain most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the olive oil and sliced onion to the skillet. Cook the onion over medium heat until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet with the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted.
Spread the caramelized onion and wilted spinach evenly across the skillet, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the mixture.
Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring it evenly covers the ingredients. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese on top.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Allow the frittata to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
