Rosemary Bacon And Tomato Frittata

There’s nothing quite like a savory frittata to start the day off right! This rosemary bacon and tomato frittata is a perfect blend of flavors, with crispy bacon, fresh rosemary, and juicy tomatoes all wrapped up in a creamy egg mixture.

It’s a brunch staple you’ll return to again and again.

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 pound thick-cut bacon, diced
• 2 medium tomatoes, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 sprigs of fresh rosemary, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium-high heat until crispy.

Remove the cooked bacon from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the grease in the skillet.

Add the diced tomatoes to the same skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to release their juices.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add the cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, and chopped rosemary to the bowl and stir until well combined.

In a greased 9-inch oven-safe skillet, add the egg mixture and cook over medium heat until the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is almost set.

If using cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata and return it to the oven for an additional 1-2 minutes, until melted and golden brown.

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure to not overcook the bacon; crispy is great, but burnt is not! Use leftover rosemary for other recipes or as a garnish for soups.

If using cheese, don’t overload the frittata, as it can make it too greasy.

Fresh tomatoes will make a big difference in flavor and texture, so try to use them instead of canned.

This recipe is perfect for brunch or a light dinner, and you can easily customize it with other ingredients like diced bell peppers or mushrooms.

Don’t be afraid to get creative!
