Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 200 g Bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (basil or parsley), for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ingredients:
    - Begin by chopping cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, and spinach. Also, cut bacon into bite-sized pieces.
    2. Sauté the Vegetables:
    - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent, then add mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, and spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables are tender and any excess moisture evaporates.
    3. Cook the Bacon:
    - Add bacon to the skillet and cook until it becomes crispy, infusing its smoky flavor into the vegetables.
    4. Combine with Eggs:
    - Beat eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the sautéed vegetables and bacon into the bowl with the beaten eggs. Mix well for an even distribution.
    5. Preheat the Skillet:
    - Preheat the skillet over medium heat with a touch of olive oil.
    6. Pour the Mixture:
    - Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the preheated skillet.
    7. Cook on Low Heat:
    - Reduce the heat to low, allowing the frittata to cook slowly, ensuring the eggs set without burning the bottom.
    8. Flip or Cover (Optional):
    - If desired, gently flip the frittata once the bottom is set. Alternatively, cover the skillet with a lid to cook the top without flipping.
    9. Check for Doneness:
    - Verify that the frittata is thoroughly cooked by ensuring the eggs are no longer runny.
    10. Rest and Serve:
    - Remove the frittata from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Cut it into wedges, serve, and relish the delightful combination of flavors.
    11. Garnish (Optional):
    - Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for an added burst of freshness.
