Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 cup mushrooms
230g
1 red onion
160g
1 red pepper
80g
5 bacon strips
120g
1 cup scallions
50g
6 eggs
300g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
80g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prep Vegetables and Bacon:
- Mushrooms: Clean and slice the mushrooms.
- Red Onion and Red Pepper: Dice the red onion and red pepper.
- Scallions: Chop the scallions.
- Bacon: Chop the bacon strips into small pieces.
3. Cook Bacon:
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
4. Cook Vegetables:
- Add the sliced mushrooms, diced red onion, and red pepper to the skillet with the remaining bacon fat.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped scallions and cooked bacon pieces. Remove from heat.
5. Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste (optional).
6. Assemble Frittata:
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and bacon in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Use fresh, quality ingredients for the best flavor.

- Cook the bacon until crispy for added texture and flavor.

- Pre-cook the vegetables to reduce moisture and enhance their flavors.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to achieve a fluffy texture.

- Allow the frittata to cool slightly before cutting to help it set and make slicing easier.

- Consider adding other herbs and spices to suit your taste preferences.
