Eggcellent Bacon Cheese Egg Frittata

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 

Step 2

Mix together 3 eggs + 1 cup egg white.

Step 3

Prepare cheddar cheese, if you haven’t bought shredded cheese, by finely shredding it. Set aside.

Step 4

Prepare turkey bacon by taking 4 slices of turkey bacon and cover with paper towel – top and bottom – and put in microwave for 1 minute. Flip and cook for another 1 minute. Cut into small 1 cm squares (cut down the length/middle of a strip then cut in 1 cm portions width) and set aside.

Step 5

Turn your stove top to medium heat, spray a skillet/frying pan and add egg mixture to it.

Step 6

Add in 2 cups of add-ins and let egg mixture cook for ~ 4 minutes.

Step 7

Take cut up turkey bacon and sprinkle on top of the eggs. Cook for another 4 minutes.

Step 8

When the eggs are starting to set (outer-edge of the eggs on the skillet should look cooked and if you shake the pan a little any egg mixture in the middle shouldn’t shake like liquid) sprinkle the cheese on top and put in oven for 10 minutes – or until the eggs are cooked throughout (toothpick should go in and come out clean).

Step 9

Take out of the oven and let sit for ~ 10 minutes to cool down.

Step 10

Serve, or package for later.
