Recipes For Breakfast Frittatas

Breakfast Frittata is fluffy and cheesy, filled with tender slices of potato, caramelized shallots and bits of smoky bacon. Enjoy it hot, warm, or cold for any meal of the day.

At 23 andpregnantwith me, my parents moved from San Francisco, California to Boulder. From what I gather they did this on a whim, one of those 'throw a dart at a map' decisions. Shortly after I was born, they moved back to San Francisco.

A few years ago, Keith and I flew to Colorado for business. With a photo of myparentsin front of their house - looking young and gorgeous - and an approximate address from my dad, we set out to find the house they lived in when I was born.

Our friend Barb snapped that photo of Keith and I. It looks like we posed for it, but the similarity to the one of my parents is accidental (if not spooky).

I didn't live with my dad growing up. But over the past several years we've become good friends. Hefirst introduced me to breakfast frittata.

My mom and I were visiting him around lunch time; I was 8 or 9 years old. I remember walking into his front door to a delicious smell. When he opened his oven and pulled out a cast iron skillet, it was filled with asoftly yellow substance that puffed over the pan's rim. I had no idea what it was.

Now breakfast frittata is a staple in our house (along with Potato Frittata, Asparagus Frittata in the spring, Breakfast Quiche and Savory French Toast). Why wouldn't it be? You can toss in most any cooked meat or vegetable (as in this Roasted Vegetable Frittata). And it can be served piping hot, at room temperature, or cool from the refrigerator.

I've tried several breakfast frittata recipes and this is by far my favorite. The key I think, is the baking temperature. Many recipes tell you to bake a frittata at 400˚F or higher - this is a mistake. Try baking it at 350˚F instead - the texture is infinitely better.

Note that your fillings should be cooked before adding them to a frittata. For this version, I bake slices of Yukon Gold potato, bacon, and shallots in a thin layer on a baking sheet. (Confession: Keith and I almost didn't make it to the frittata with our picking at this pan of roasted goodness. If I hadn't had this post in mind, I would have scooped a big helping onto two plates, fried a couple of eggs for the top, and called it good! )

I hope you'll try this recipe as written, but also hope you'll keep it in mind for leftovers. It's a wonderful way to stretch cooked meats and vegetables and you can top it with any cheese you like.

Step 1: Bake potatoes, bacon and shallots at 400˚F in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce oven to 350˚F.

Step 3: Heat oil in a 10 cast iron skillet until hot. Layer potato mixture over the bottom and pour the eggs over. Top with cheese.

What is the Best Pan for Frittatas? Use a cast-iron pan or oven-safe pan between 9 and 10 inches in diameter to get the perfect sized slice so your frittata doesn’t spread too thin on the skillet.

Omelets are typically pan-fried and folded, while frittatas are baked in the oven like a cake. Also, frittatas call for a heavy dose of cream to make them light, fluffy, and luscious. 

Yes, as long as it’s full-fat. If using milk, reduce to 1/4 cup. If you don’t have whole milk, adding a little sour cream, yogurt, or crème fraîche will do the trick.
