Packed with deliciously crispy bacon, tender leeks, and juicy cherry tomatoes, this frittata is not only flavorful but also nutritious. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, you can create a wholesome meal that everyone will love.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the leek thoroughly to remove any dirt. Slice the white and light green parts into thin rounds.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
- Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips and cook until crispy, flipping occasionally. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Allow it to cool slightly before crumbling or chopping into bite-sized pieces. Reserve a tablespoon of bacon fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the sliced leeks.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the crumbled bacon back into the skillet with the leeks and stir to combine.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon and leeks. Tilt the skillet if necessary to make sure the eggs are evenly distributed.
- Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top.
- Cook on the stovetop over medium heat until the edges start to set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is golden and the center is just set.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your easy bacon and leek frittata with a side salad or some crusty bread!
Tips:
- Cook bacon strips over medium heat until they are crispy for the perfect texture.
- Make sure to clean the leek thoroughly as dirt can be trapped between the layers.
- Whisk the eggs and cream together until fully combined and slightly frothy for a fluffy frittata.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a consistent cooking temperature.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to seamlessly transition from stovetop to oven.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow it to set properly.
