A Tomato Bacon Frittata is a delightful and protein-packed dish that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner. Combining the juicy flavors of ripe tomatoes with the savory goodness of bacon, this frittata is both filling and delicious. It's easy to make and requires minimal ingredients, making it an ideal choice for a quick and nutritious meal.
Instructions:
- Tomatoes: Wash and chop the tomatoes into small, even pieces.
- Bacon: Cut the bacon into small strips.
- Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until the yolks and whites are well combined.
- Seasoning: Prepare a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Heat a medium-sized oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook until they are crispy and browned, about 4-5 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
- In the same skillet, discard most of the bacon fat, leaving a small amount for flavor.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the tomatoes are softened and most of their liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the tomatoes with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Once the tomatoes are softened, add the crispy bacon back into the skillet.
- Pour the beaten eggs over the tomato and bacon mixture, making sure to spread them out evenly.
- Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
- Preheat your oven's broiler to high.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil the frittata for about 3-5 minutes until the top is golden and the eggs are fully cooked.
- Keep an eye on the frittata to prevent it from burning.
- Remove the frittata from the oven using oven mitts, as the skillet will be very hot.
- Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Cook the bacon until it's crispy to add a nice crunch to the frittata.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to ensure a light and fluffy texture.
- Use a non-stick pan for easier cooking and cleanup.
- Season the frittata to taste with additional herbs or spices, such as basil or paprika, if you like.
- Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape better.
