Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 large russet potato
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyere)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet, drain on paper towels, and crumble once cooled. Leave 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Add the olive oil to the skillet with the bacon grease, then add the diced potatoes. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and tender.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring, until wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked potatoes and spinach in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently mix and ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Return the skillet to the stovetop and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, allowing the edges to set slightly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
