Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the chopped scallions, grated zucchini, chopped bacon, and grated cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lightly grease a baking dish or ovenproof skillet with a little oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top of the frittata, cut side up.
- 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.
- 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.
