Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup thick-cut bacon (diced)
- ¾ cup smoked sausage
- ¼ cup chopped scallions
- 8 button mushrooms
- 1 sliced serrano pepper
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 8 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or half and half)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375-degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the bacon and sausage in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat until the bacon is crisp and the sausage is cooked.
- Add the scallions, sliced mushrooms, and serranos and cook for a few minutes. Toss in spinach and garlic and cook a couple minutes longer.
- Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the other ingredients in the pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until slightly jiggly in the center. Don't overcook.
- Remove the pan from the oven and cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- If there is an excess amount of bacon grease, drain most of it, before adding the eggs to the pan.
- Don't over mix the eggs. This can incorporate too much air into the eggs which will cause the Frittata to puff up and eventually collapse. As a result, the Frittata will end up dense instead of light and fluffy.
- This Keto Frittata freezes well in an airtight container, for up to a few months.
- To reheat frozen Frittata, defrost in the fridge overnight and then reheat in a 350-degree F. oven for approximately 5 minutes.
- Frozen Frittata becomes soggy and rubbery if reheated in the microwave so if possible, use the oven.
- Frittatas aren't just for breakfast. They are filling enough to be served for lunch or dinner.
