Frittata
HB-7043 · Hand-built original
A bacon, spinach and mozzarella frittata started on the stove and finished in the oven, with a third of the bacon and spinach reserved for the top. It slices into wedges that are soft and custardy inside.
Main ingredient: bacon
Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 2 tbsp milk ((any))
- 1/2 tsp salt and pepper
- 1 tsp oil
- 10oz bacon (, chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (, minced)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 big handfuls baby spinach
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (, shredded (or other melting cheese))
- More cooked chopped bacon and spinach, (for garnish as pictured)
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F before you start cooking the frittata filling.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper together in a bowl until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Heat the oil in a well-seasoned or non-stick skillet, about 10 in across, over medium-high heat, add the chopped bacon and cook it until it is almost golden.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the baby spinach and toss it until it just wilts and the bacon finishes turning golden.
- Turn the heat down to medium, lift about a third of the bacon and spinach mixture into a bowl for the topping, and swirl the butter around the base of the pan.
- Pour in about two thirds of the egg mixture, scatter over half the shredded mozzarella, then pour in the remaining egg mixture.
- Scatter the reserved bacon and spinach over the surface, followed by the rest of the mozzarella.
- Cook the frittata on the stove for about 3 minutes until the sides are just set but not golden, checking the edge with a knife.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven for 8 minutes until the centre is just set and the mozzarella on top has melted.
- Rest the frittata for a few minutes in the pan, then slice it into wedges and serve.
