Spanish Fritatta

I love frittatas. It's like a quiche, but you don't have to go to the trouble to make the crust. It's quick quiche. Maybe lazy quiche? And you can basically put anything in it and it still comes out like a masterpiece. This frittata recipe I got from Epicurious and made some changes to it. Well, I made it more budget friendly. The original recipe called for prosciutto, truffle oil, and chives. I'm using bacon and green onions. There is no substitute for truffle oil.

Eggs! High in B vitamins, Vitamin A, and Potassium

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 yukon gold potatoes peeled and sliced
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 5 strips of bacon chopped
• 2/3 cup frozen peas
• 1 green onion chopped

To Prepare:
Preheat oven to 400 F.

Get out your super-duper food processor and slice those potatoes! Or just slice them with a knife, but it's not as fun. (I got married a few months ago and received a cuisinart as a gift and I LOVE it). Potatoes should be sliced about 1/4" thick.

Heat up the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet and cook potato slices over medium heat for about 18 minutes. Stir occasionally so those spuds won't stick!

While the potatoes are cooking, cook your bacon. My favorite way to do bacon right now is on the broiler pan. The fat drips off, you don't have to keep turning the bacon, and it cooks evenly. Best idea ever. So place the bacon on the broiler rack and cook at a 400 F oven for eighteen minutes. Bacon will come out awesome. Let bacon cool for a minute and chop it up. Lower the oven temp to 375 F.

Place potatoes in a greased tart pan or a pie dish. I have one of those silicone tart pans - it's amazing. Nothing sticks to it ever. So layer the potatoes on the bottom, cover with chopped bacon, frozen peas, and green onion.

Here is my best trick on the green onion. I buy a few bunches at a time and I chop it all up and freeze it. One more step you don't have to worry about. And green onion makes so many dishes just better. It's like the cherry on the sundae.

So now you have everything but the eggs. Whisk up 8 eggs in a large bowl and pour all over potatoes, bacon, peas, and green onion. Cook at 375 F for fifteen minutes or until middle of dish is set. Let cool a bit and enjoy!
