FARMER'S FRITTATA



Farmer's Frittata image

As the name implies, this is a workingman's or -woman's omelet, bulging with crispy chunks of slab bacon, potatoes, and onions. It's also great with leeks. There's no need to fold this before serving. It's served as is, flat and round, and right out of the skillet. Serve with Zucchini Bread with Zucchini Flowers (page 48).

Yield serves 1

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 slices slab bacon
3 extra-large eggs
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup Home Fries (page 209)

Steps:

  • Fry the bacon in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly. Cut it into 2-inch pieces.
  • Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl until frothy.
  • Heat the butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the home fries and cook for 1 minute, or until the fries are nice and crispy. Add the bacon and toss it with the home fries until well combined.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the eggs over the home fries and bacon. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan, while allowing the liquid egg to run underneath and onto the hot pan. When the sides of the omelet begin to rise up the edge of the pan, flip the omelet. It is done when it is nicely set but not overly firm. There should be traces of just-cooked egg in the center of the frittata. Serve hot.
