Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion about 1/2 an onion
  • 1 green bell pepper diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, drained 14.5 oz
  • 3 slices turkey bacon cooked and chopped (I use a nitrate free brand; like Trader Joe's or Applegate)
  • 5-7 eggs depending on size (I used 5 large eggs for a medium-sized skillet)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to iron skillet and use a cooking brush or paper towel to wipe oil along the sides of the skillet. Heat skillet on medium-high heat. Saute onion and green pepper for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile; beat eggs, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in medium bowl or 2 cup measuring cup. Set aside.
  • Next, add garlic, spinach, tomatoes and bacon to iron skillet and saute for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Finally, pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables and stir to ensure the egg mixture is evenly distributed, then immediately remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Put the skillet in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, and until the top of the frittata has browned slightly and is set.
  • Allow frittata to cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure you are using an oven safe skillet. This starts on the stovetop and is placed in the oven to finish. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you could always transfer the contents of the skillet to a large pie pan.
