Bacon and Potato Frittata with Greens image

This is a wonderful meal anytime of day or night. My grandfather used to make frittatas quite often. Instead of finishing a frittata under the broiler he would cook it halfway, put a plate on top of the pan, flip the pan over, and slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the other side. Sometimes a frittata would stick; other times the hot oil would drip on him as he performed this maneuver. It was during these moments that I learned all the really good Italian curse words I still use to this day.

Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 slices bacon, chopped
1 potato, peeled and sliced into thin 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped
8 eggs, beaten
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Cook and stir bacon in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain all but 1 teaspoon bacon grease from the skillet.
  • Stir potato slices, water, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into bacon; cover the skillet with a lid and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix Swiss chard into potato mixture; cook and stir until chard is slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour eggs over potato-chard mixture, stir gently, and remove skillet from heat. Top egg mixture with Parmesan cheese.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until eggs are set and frittata is golden brown around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes.
