Instructions
Preheat oven and prepare skillet
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Heat a 25 cm (10-inch) ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add butter.
Pro tip: Ensure the skillet is oven-safe to avoid accidents.
Cook bacon
Cook bacon in the skillet until crispy. Remove and crumble once cooled.
Pro tip: Drain excess fat for a lighter frittata.
Prepare egg mixture
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pro tip: Whisk vigorously to incorporate air for fluffier eggs.
Combine ingredients
Add crumbled bacon, cheese, and green onions to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
Pro tip: Reserve some cheese to sprinkle on top before baking.
Cook frittata base
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook on the stove for about 5 minutes or until edges start to set.
Pro tip: Gently stir to ensure even cooking without scrambling.
Bake the frittata
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until the frittata is puffed and the centre is set.
Pro tip: The frittata is done when a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Rest and serve
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Pro tip: Resting helps the frittata set, making it easier to slice.
Tips & Tricks
- Use a non-stick skillet for easy release and cleaning.
