Why This Frittata is a Crowd-Pleaser

With minimal prep work and a short cooking time, you can serve a dish that tastes like it took hours to make. The frittata’s rich, layered flavors and airy texture guarantee rave reviews, making it a favorite for gatherings of any size.

Essential Prep for Perfect Potatoes

Evenly cut potatoes cook perfectly and provide texture in every forkful. To save time and get uniform cubes, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper. This makes quick work of dicing potatoes and ensures every piece cooks evenly, creating the ideal base for your frittata.

Building the Frittata Base

Use a quality nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for easy frittata release and less sticking. Crisp up the bacon, sauté the potatoes to golden perfection, and mix in some finely chopped green onions for subtle depth of flavor. The cheese gets melted smoothly through the eggs, wrapping each ingredient in creamy richness.

Baking and Finishing Touches

For an evenly cooked, beautifully set frittata, finish the dish in the oven. Before placing it in the oven, check for doneness with the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking—you want the center to reach 160°F for perfectly fluffy eggs. If you’re taking your frittata on the go, pack up a hearty slice in a leak-proof Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl for easy transport and freshness.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. If prepping potatoes or other veggies, the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper will make prep a breeze.
2. In the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, cook chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, and drain most of the bacon fat from the pan, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
3. Add olive oil and the diced potatoes to the skillet. Sauté 7–8 minutes until golden and just tender, stirring occasionally.
4. Add sliced green onions and cook 1 minute more.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper together until well blended, using the ThermoPro TP19H Digital Meat Thermometer for Cooking to check if eggs are at room temperature for an even cook.
6. Stir in half of the cheddar cheese and all the crispy bacon. Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and green onions in the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
7. Let cook undisturbed for 2–3 minutes until the edges start to set. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–14 minutes, or until the center is just set.
8. Cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley before slicing. Pack leftovers in your Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl for easy lunches!
