Cooking Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, flipping once, until cooked but not crisp. Drain on a paper towel, then chop into bite-size pieces.
  2. Pour off the bacon fat and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat until softened, about 7 minutes. Let cool.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the onion, the bacon, the cheeses and the salt and pepper and stir gently. In a 9- or 10- inch ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil (swirl the oil to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet). Add the egg mixture and cook over medium-low heat until the sides start to set, about 3 minutes. Bake in the oven until the frittata is firm, 20 to 25 minutes.
  4. Gently run a rubber spatula around the sides of the skillet to loosen the frittata. Place a serving plate over the skillet and carefully flip the pan to release the frittata.

Yield: 6 servings

  • Bacon and Cheese Frittata

    I just loved this recipe. I made it a second time and added baking powder and baking soda and it puffed up and was even better. I think the comment about the person who got the runs must be either allergic to eggs or has dirty pans and a dirty kitchen. I just love Rachael Ray and her helpful cooking recipes.

  • Frittata ?

    sacha_bello - August 13, 2008 12:49:25 PM PST
    Frittata is an old Italien recipe using left over pasta. This is a bacon and cheese omlette...... much better to use left over pasta with sauce, add eggs, cheese and onions and put into a frying pan and cook until golden one side, put a large plate on top of the pan, flip it so its on the plate then slide back into the pan to cook the other side! Try a "real" frittata, better than an omlette every time! Enjoy :)

  • We loved it!

    I think it just goes to prove, to each their own! The previous poster hated it, we loved it! My nephews needed something after hockey, and I am always trying to give them something new, to expose them to new tastes. This went over very very well, and honestly, I loved the ease of preparation too. Since I first found the recipe, it's become one of our family regulars!

  • Pretty Good

    Rodriguez - April 14, 2007 05:36:35 PM PST
    I would've given it 3 stars, but I'm a cheese-lover, and the excellent use of cheese in this recipe has caused me to-bump my score up to 4 stars. The other person who reviewed it, gave it a low score based upon the fat content (etc). But this is not a health-food forum. It's all about the taste. That person seems like the type of person who would probably NOT eat a cheese-steak hoagie, because it's not healthy. Yet there are many cheese-steaks eaten in this nation (and others too) on a daily basis. Why? Because they taste good. I think anything which tastes good, such as this Bacon and Cheese Frittata, should get a good review, regardless of how healthy it is (or isn't).
