Ingredients:

6 eggs
300g
1 cup scallions
50g
2 bacon strips
50g
1 zucchini
200g
2 tbsp self-raising flour
30g
2 tbsp milk (1% fat)
30g
salt & pepper to taste
1/3 cup cheddar cheese
55g
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
90g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until they are crispy.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat. Once cooled, chop the bacon into small pieces.

3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the bacon is cooking, chop the scallions and set aside.
- Grate the zucchini and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This step is important to ensure your frittata doesn’t become too watery.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and lightly beat them.
- Add the self-raising flour and milk to the eggs, and whisk until well combined.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the chopped scallions, grated zucchini, chopped bacon, and grated cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
6. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish or ovenproof skillet with a little oil or non-stick cooking spray.
7. Assemble the Frittata:
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top of the frittata, cut side up.
8. Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top. A toothpick or knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
9. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, either on its own or with a side salad or some crusty bread.

Tips:

- For a healthier option, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to enhance the flavor and nutrition.

- Make sure to evenly distribute the ingredients in the baking dish for a well-balanced frittata.

- You can use a cast-iron skillet for a nice, crispy edge on your frittata.

- Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing to keep it from falling apart.

This Baked Zucchini, Bacon, and Tomato Frittata is a simple yet flavorful dish that highlights the natural sweetness of zucchini and tomatoes, combined with the savory taste of bacon and cheddar cheese. It's not only easy to prepare but also a nutritious way to enjoy eggs and vegetables.
