Not only is this frittata recipe perfect to serve for a crowd (hello, holiday house guests!), but it makes the most delicious breakfast or brunch option. Plus, you can make this ahead of time, too!
Filled with bacon, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, spinach and cheese, this hearty dish is loaded with flavor and ready in no time. Easy-peasy and filled tasty ingredients. How good does that sound?
How to Male:
This tomato frittata is incredibly easy to make and can be ready in about 45 minutes. It’s perfect for when you need breakfast ready for brunch, your family, or even dinner.
- To start, cook the Dry Cured bacon in a large skillet until crisp and brown, and then remove to another plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté some mushrooms until tender, and then add in some fresh baby spinach and stir to wilt.
- When mushrooms are cooking, whisk the eggs, milk, seasonings, and cheese together.
- Pour the egg mixture into a prepared pan, along with bacon and mushroom mixture. Add some cherry tomatoes on top and let the oven work its magic.
Can I Make a Frittata the Night Before?
Absolutely! This s the best make-ahead dish for busy mornings. Simply make this dish from start to end, and then refrigerate once cooled. The refrigerated frittata can last for up to 5 days before serving. And that means you can have breakfast ready for most of the week.
How Do You Know When it’s Done?
Cut a small slit into the center of the frittata. If the egg runs into the cut, you will need to bake it longer. If the eggs are set (and not runny), it’s ready.
Can I Freeze This?
You sure can! This will last roughly 3 months in the freezer. When ready to serve, let thaw and then reheat in the microwave or oven.
Can I Reheat This?
Yes! You can reheat this bake in the microwave or oven (set oven to350°F). Keep in mind that the eggs are already cooked, so you don’t want to overcook the eggs again.
Variations:
- Add more veggies! Toss in some asparagus, bell peppers, broccoli or onions for even more flavor.
- Experiment with different cheese! Gouda, feta, asiago, or goat cheese would pair beautifully in this frittata recipe.
- Use different seasonings or fresh herbs! A touch of basil, thyme, or rosemary would complement this frittata.
