Bacon Cheese Frittata – Step by Step Picture Recipe

Here is what you will need to serve 4 as a main course with a side.

Ingredients

  • 8 Rashers Smoked Back Bacon
  • 200ml Milk
  • 8 Eggs
  • 75g Extra Mature Cheddar Cheese, Grated (Divided)
  • 1 heaped tbsp Fresh Chives, Chopped
  • Salt
  • 6-8 Cherry Tomatoes, Halved

Essential Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • 24cm (9.5″) Square Dish or Similar

Instructions

Firstly line your baking dish with baking paper (it doesn’t have to be neat) and preheat your oven to 190°C/ Fan 180°C.

To cook the bacon, cover a baking tray in foil and evenly lay out the rashers. Place into the oven to cook until the fat is starting to crisp. (Approx 15-20 minutes.) Turn them all over after about 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Short on time? You can make air fryer bacon instead.

If you are eating hot, simply allow to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving with a side salad or some potatoes. Alternatively, you could allow it to cool completely in the dish then wrap up, refrigerate and take on your next picnic. The choice is yours!

You can’t tell me you’re not tempted by that… look at the beautiful colours, it’s so appetising! The great thing about this recipe is you can switch out any ingredient you or your guests aren’t happy with.

Don’t like tomatoes? Swap it with some red peppers. Not a fan of bacon? How about some chicken instead? Always a crowd pleaser this one!
