Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Grate the cheddar cheese.
- Quarter the cherry tomatoes.
- Heat 2 tsp of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the pan and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain.
- Once cool, roughly chop the bacon into small pieces.
- In the same frying pan with the bacon drippings, add the sliced mushrooms.
- Cook over medium heat until the mushrooms are soft and slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the 5 eggs.
- Add 1/3 cup of heavy whipping cream to the eggs.
- Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.
- Preheat your pie maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Evenly distribute the cooked bacon, mushrooms, and quartered cherry tomatoes into each pie maker cavity.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bacon, mushrooms, and tomatoes, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top of the egg mixture in each cavity.
- Close the pie maker and cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until the frittatas are puffed up and golden brown. The exact time may vary depending on your pie maker, so check the frittatas after about 7 minutes.
- Carefully remove the frittatas from the pie maker using a spatula or similar tool.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Pre-cook the bacon: Fry the bacon strips in a small pan until they are crisp. This ensures they add the right crunchy texture to the frittatas. Drain on a paper towel and chop into small pieces.
- Sauté the mushrooms: In the same pan, add a bit of the leftover bacon fat or some olive oil and sauté the mushrooms until they are golden and tender. This enhances their flavor and prevents them from releasing excess moisture into the frittatas.
- Beat the eggs and cream well: In a bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy whipping cream thoroughly. This will make the frittatas light and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Use a pie maker: Preheat your pie maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Assemble the frittatas: Divide the bacon, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes (halved) evenly among the pie maker wells. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings, and sprinkle a bit of cheddar cheese on top.
- Cook until set: Close the pie maker and cook the frittatas for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are puffed up and set. Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
- Experiment with ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients like spinach, bell peppers, or different cheese types to customize your frittatas.
