So, enjoy that crumbled bacon sprinkled into fluffy eggs, fresh spinach, and tomatoes. You’ll love how everything comes together.
First, start by cooking up the bacon in your cast iron skillet (make sure you use an oven-safe skillet)! Next, reserve the bacon grease to cook the remaining ingredients with – you’ll get that decadent bacon flavor soaked into your veggies. And who doesn’t love a little extra bacon flavor?
Then, you’ll want to sauté your diced onions and grape tomatoes. Pour in the egg and almond milk mix. Make sure to really whip up your egg batter because that’s how you’ll make your frittata nice and fluffy!
Finally, once your eggs begin to set, place the skillet in the oven. Within 15 minutes or so, you’ll have a freshly baked frittata ready to serve!
And one final thing! Frittatas are endlessly versatile, so feel free to get creative with the ingredients. If you have some leftover veggies or meat you’d like to add, feel free to go for it!
