Yield 1 frittata, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 potato, large
2/3 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons butter
1 dash marjoram
1 dash pepper
1 dash salt
1 dash onion powder
1 dash celery salt
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary needles, finely chopped
2 tablespoons parsley
8 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5 slices bacon, fried, crumbled

Steps:

Bake potato in microwave 4 minutes. Remove skin. Dice into ½ inch cubes.
In a skillet, brown potato slightly with 2 Tbls butter and season with all "dashes" of seasonings and rosemary and parsley.
Place in deep dish 10" pie pan or deep 9" x 9" glass baking dish that has been buttered or "Pam-ed" along with the bacon (or meat of your choice). If you double the recipe, use a 9" x 13" glass baking dish.
Beat eggs (or you can use egg substitute), cheese, milk, salt and pepper together and pour over potatoes and meat.
Bake in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. To make sure that the center gets done before the outer edge gets too brown, Pam a small bisquit cutter or something small and metal, and place it in the center of the mixture. This will draw heat to the center so it bakes evenly.
Serve with sliced cantaloupe and strawberries and mini muffins for breakfast.
Or serve with a fresh greens salad and Italian bread for dinner or brunch.
