Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata with Bacon

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata with Bacon.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and make sure to place a rack right in the center.

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, grab a mixing bowl and whisk together some eggs, heavy cream, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.

3. Step 3

   Set this delightful mixture aside for now.

4. Step 4

   Next, take a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet and melt a generous pat of butter over medium-high heat.

5. Step 5

   Watch as it bubbles and sizzles, then toss in your chopped onion.

6. Step 6

   Sauté the onion for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes tender and fragrant.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to add in the vibrant chopped broccoli.

8. Step 8

   Stir it around for another couple of minutes, letting it mingle with the onion.

9. Step 9

   After that, introduce the thawed hash brown potatoes to the skillet and cook everything together for an additional 2 minutes, giving it a light sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.

10. Step 10

    Once your veggies are perfectly cooked, use the back of a spatula to press them down into an even layer in the skillet.

11. Step 11

    Turn off the heat and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon over the top, creating a deliciously tempting layer.

12. Step 12

    Now, gently pour your egg mixture over the vegetables, and give the skillet a little shake to help the eggs fill in any gaps.

13. Step 13

    Let the residual heat work its magic for about 2 minutes, allowing the eggs to start cooking slightly.

14. Step 14

    Carefully transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.

15. Step 15

    To check if it’s done, insert a knife into the center; the eggs should be set and not runny.

16. Step 16

    Once it’s ready, let the frittata cool in the skillet for about 5 minutes before slicing it up and serving.
