Homemade Festive Frittata
First things first though, you may be asking… what is a frittata? It could be called a crustless quiche, but it is a delicious egg-bake casserole filled with yummy vegetables, cheese, herbs, cheese, meat, and whatever else you have on hand.
Active time: 15 Min.
Total time: 40 Min.
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients:
1 Perfectly Imperfect zucchini, quartered lengthwise and diced
1 cup Perfectly Imperfect cherry tomatoes, sliced
4 Perfectly Imperfect green onions, sliced (or ¼ cup finely chopped onion)
6 slices thick cut bacon, sliced into 1 inch pieces
1½ cup gruyere cheese, shredded/grated
2 Perfectly Imperfect garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
12 large eggs
1 cup whole milk (or any milk substitute)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large oven safe skillet, cook sliced bacon pieces until crispy over medium heat. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aide. (Tip; leave the bacon grease in the pan to sauté the veggies in for more flavor!)
Add the sliced green onion and minced garlic to the sauté pan. Cook for 1-2 min. Add in the diced zucchini and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Then add the sliced tomatoes to the veggies and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Turn off the heat and let cool.
While the vegetable mixture cools, whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper to taste and bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies in the oven safe pan. Spread the veggies and the egg mixture out evenly.
Carefully place in the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and firm.
Eat while warm, or cool and refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat simply in a low 325 degree oven until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
