Jenny's Frittata

12 eggs

2 cups 1% Milk

4 Tbs Margarine

1 tsp Coarse Kosher Salt

1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Pepper

3 Green Onions - chopped

1 lb thick cut Bacon

2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese

1/2 Green Bell Pepper diced

1/2 Red Bell Pepper diced

9 Hash-brown Patties


Lay out the bacon on a cookie sheet and place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Using tongs flip bacon and bake for another 10 minutes.














Meanwhile....

Gather your fresh produce, wash with water to remove dirt, germs, etc.,

Slice the bell peppers in half:








































You need to remove the seeds, the stem and white pieces under the stem and inside the peppers. The easiest way is to just pull it out with your hands.









Next you need to slice the bell peppers into strips:

Then dice the strips:

Now the green onions. Wash with cool water, making sure to remove wilted pieces, and cut off the roots:

Then dice the green onions from the bottom about 2/3 of the way to the top, discarding the ends:

Take the bacon out of the oven and place the strips on paper-towels to drain:

Carefully pour a small amount of the bacon grease from the cookie sheet into a large frying pan to cook the hash-brown patties:

When they are golden brown on both sides place on a paper-towel to drain:

Pour the grease out of the frying pan and put the diced green onions and bell peppers in the pan to cook:

Cook over medium heat stirring frequently until tender. Turn off heat and let rest in the pan.

Add the 4 tablespoons of margarine and let it melt.

Gently toss veggies in the melted margarine and let rest.

Dice the Bacon:

Next crack a dozen eggs and put them in a mixer bowl:

Add 2 cups of 1% Milk:

Beat the mixture on low for one minute:

Add the cooked veggies and melted margarine, combine on low speed for about 30 seconds:

Arrange the hash-brown patties in the bottom of an ungreased 13x9 pan:

Gently pour the egg mixture over the top:

Sprinkle the chopped bacon, salt and pepper over the top:

Cover with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese:

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean:

I suggest letting this Frittata rest for about 10 minutes before serving, or it will fall apart and be messy on the plate:

after letting it rest this is what it looked like:


This will serve a large family. My kids had thirds they liked it so much! We still have enough left over for the three of them to have a piece for breakfast. :-)


ENJOY!!
