How To Make Egg Frittata Recipe?

1. Prep the Ingredients: Dice the bacon (if using), peel and slice the potatoes thinly, mince the garlic, and pick the thyme leaves. Grate the cheese if using.
2. Heat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C and position the rack in the middle of the oven.
3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, 3g of kosher salt, and ground black pepper until combined.
4. Cook the Bacon: Place the diced bacon in a cold 25-30cm oven-safe frying pan or cast iron skillet. Cook over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving about 30ml of the fat in the pan. If skipping bacon, add 30ml of vegetable oil to the skillet.
5. Cook the Potatoes: Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, season with the remaining salt, and cook for 4–6 minutes over medium heat until tender and lightly browned.
6. Wilt the Spinach: Add the garlic, thyme, and spinach to the skillet, stirring constantly for 30–60 seconds until the spinach wilts.
7. Add the Bacon and Cheese: Return the bacon to the pan and spread the mixture evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
8. Pour the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese, tilting the skillet to ensure even coverage. Cook on the stovetop for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to set.
9. Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the eggs are fully set. For a golden top, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of cooking.
10. Cool and Serve: Let the frittata cool for 5 minutes in the skillet before slicing into wedges. Serve warm.

Recipe Tips:

• Use an Oven-Safe Pan: Make sure your skillet or frying pan is safe to use in the oven to avoid transferring the frittata to another dish.
• Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Keep an eye on the frittata while baking. If you overcook it, the eggs will turn rubbery instead of soft and creamy.
• Pre-Cook the Vegetables: Always cook your potatoes and spinach before adding the eggs to ensure they are tender and well-flavored.
• Spread the Ingredients Evenly: Distribute the bacon, cheese, and vegetables evenly in the pan so every bite has all the flavors.
• Let it Rest Before Slicing: Allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes after baking so it sets properly and slices cleanly.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the Egg Frittata to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Once the Egg Frittata is fully cooled, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Heat a non-stick pan over low heat. Place the Egg Frittata in the pan and cover it with a lid. Warm gently for 3–5 minutes, flipping once.
