This recipe for How To Cook Vegetable Bacon Frittata is a good one for a delicious breakfast dish, a quick lunch or a hearty dinner.

I like to serve it for an impressive luncheon for friends or surprise visits when I am not prepared for company. I get raves every time I serve it.

How To Cook Vegetable Bacon Frittata:

Once this dish goes into the oven, most all of the ingredients are already cooked, so the eggs just need to firm up a bit.

This is a versatile dish where you can substitute with vegetables of your choice and you can use ham or panchetta in place of the bacon.

Type: Breakfast Recipe

Prep Time: 8 – 10 min

Yield: 4 – 6 servings

The ingredients & instructions are listed below the video for measurements & directions. Please enjoy this webisode of Cooking like Alpha Beta Pie:

Ingredients:

5 – 6 large eggs
2 tbsp milk
3 – 4 slices of bacon
bacon fat – to coat pan
dash of salt
dash of freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup mushrooms
1/8 cup broccoli
1/8 cup zucchini
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4 – 1 cup grated cheddar cheese – or any other cheese of your choice
1/4 tsp sweet paprika – smoked is preferable; I use La Chinata Sweet Smoked Paprika.

Instructions:

Use a saute pan with a metal or ovenproof handle, because the pan will eventually go into the oven. * Notes: be careful when removing it from the oven. Make sure you use oven mitts because it is sizzling hot!
Lightly brush surface of small saute pan with bacon fat or oil of your choice.
Chop bacon into small chunks. In saute pan, on medium heat, add in bacon chunks and fry, stirring as it cooks until brownish, and it reaches the crispy stage.
Remove bacon and drain on paper towel, reserving bacon chunks for the time being. Empty pan of excess fat, leaving about 1 tsp fat in pan.
Crack eggs into small bowl and season with salt & pepper. Add in milk and whisk until combined thoroughly.
Gently fry all vegetables in saute pan and add in olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until vegetables are softened. Season with salt and pepper to taste – approximately 4 – 5 min.
Add in beaten eggs, using a spatula to stir ingredients, and combine till eggs partly set up, but are still wet.
Even out surface of ingredients in saute pan, sprinkle bacon on top evenly and arrange cheese over top of everything, using as much or little cheese as you desire. Sprinkle sweet paprika and one last sprinkling of fresh ground pepper over top.
Place pan into 300 degree F oven and cook for about 8 min. When the surface is bubbly and puffed up, remove from oven.
Allow to cool very slightly. Cut into wedges for serving.

It is very pretty garnished with parsley and accompanied with Sriracha sauce, hot sauce or even sour cream. I think you will find this to be a “go to” dish when you are in a pinch or you are looking for something just a bit different.

Frittata is one of my favorite breakfast dishes that I hope you will try. A salad on the side or oven baked fries are ideal, if serving for brunch, lunch or dinner.

This beautiful recipe for How To Cook Vegetable Bacon Frittata is just what you want to serve when you have a house full of hungry people.
