Three Cheese Bacon Tomato Frittata

Three Cheese Bacon Tomato Frittata
I have started making breakfast ahead of time for the week and my favorite to make is a nice hearty frittata. They are so easy to make and with the right filling incredibly delicious. I make them the day before, split them up into portions and store in the fridge. It lasts about 3 days for my family of 2 adults and two toddlers. My family is all about cheese and bacon so I decided to make a three cheese bacon tomato frittata for the remainder of this weeks breakfast.
I started with slicing down about a cup of cherry tomatoes.
I then took 6 slices of bacon and cut down into good size pieces.
I fried the bacon on a pan over medium heat until crispy. This time I had bacon with nitrates in it. When I do I just make sure to cook them slower over lower heat.
Resisting the urge to just stop here and have a plate full of bacon, I added the tomatoes to the pan and fried for another 3-4 minutes.
While the bacon was cooking I mixed together 10 eggs in a large bowl.
I always add cream to my eggs, it makes them fluffier and gives them bulk. I stirred in a 1/4 cup of cream.
Time for cheese! I chose to add a 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of feta cheese. I gently folded the cheese into the mixture with a spatula.
I poured the egg mixture over the bacon and tomatoes to my pan that was still sizzling over medium heat and cooked on the stove for about 2 minutes to let the eggs set a bit.
The final step was to put the pan into a hot oven for 20-25 minutes on 375F. How long really depends on the oven itself, just watch it for the first time to make sure you won’t over cook them.
My final version, look how beautiful it is, you can see the cheese in there just slightly crispy. Since there isn’t much left of the week I decided to have a slice for lunch!

I add garlic and spinach or kale to my frittatas. These are always a great fast and portable breakfast to make ahead for the week!
Just found your site and I love the pictures you post, the layout of your site and the clear nutrition information that you post. I can’t wait to go through the rest of your recipes! Thank you!

I am new to this lifestyle. This may be a dumb queston; do you drain the grease from the pan before you add the eggs?

It depends on your preference. If you can stomach the extra fat, don’t drain it. If you like it a little more conservative especially while starting out then drain it. If you aren’t going to be able to eat it there is no purpose. Bacon fat is very yummy so I personally use every drop!

This looks fantastic. I’ve been making egg muffins and they’ve been getting old. I’m thinking this is exactly what I need to kick start my egg consumption. Looks delicious!
