    How to Make Crispy Bacon and Feta Frittata with Spinach and Red Peppers

    1. Preheat oven

    Start by preheating your oven to 350ºF. This ensures it reaches the ideal temperature by the time you're ready to bake the frittata.

    2. Cook bacon

    In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until it turns crisp. This should take a few minutes. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel–lined plate, but leave about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the skillet.

    3. Sauté garlic and spinach

    With the skillet still on medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant. Now, toss in the roughly chopped fresh spinach. Cook it for 1 to 2 minutes until it wilts down.

    4. Add ingredients to skillet

    Take the skillet off the heat and evenly spread the cooked spinach. Add the chopped roasted red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, and the crispy bacon.

    5. Prepare egg mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the 7 large eggs, ¼ cup of heavy cream, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the skillet. Gently shake the skillet to ensure the eggs seep through and everything is evenly distributed.

    6. Bake frittata

    Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and cooked through. Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly before serving.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Ingredient Quality

    Use fresh, high-quality ingredients such as organic baby spinach, locally sourced feta, and artisanal thick-cut bacon for the best flavors.

    Balance the Flavors

    With salty feta, season carefully using fresh cracked pepper and a pinch of sea salt, tasting as you go. Fresh herbs can enhance flavor without overpowering.

    Finish in the Oven

    Transfer skillet to a preheated oven to cook evenly, avoiding the need to flip the frittata.

    Render the Bacon Properly

    Cook bacon over medium heat to render fat slowly, ensuring even cooking and crispiness without burning.

    Pairings

    Serve with a light, acidic salad or crusty bread to complement the frittata's richness.
