Savory bacon and sweet caramelized onions made this one of the best frittatas I have ever made. I wanted something simple for dinner tonight and this was both simple and delicious.
A slice of this frittata along with my new favorite salad made for a perfect meal.
Bacon Caramelized Onion and Potato Frittata
Servings: 4 -5 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup thick bacon ends OR 4 slices chopped into 1" pieces
- 2 medium/large golden yellow potatoes washed and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup caramelized onions OR 1 medium size onion chopped into 1/2" pieces
- 10 eggs
- 1/4 cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- 4 oz approximately 1 cup, shredded Monterrey Jack cheese, or cheese of your choice
- Chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large OVEN PROOF skillet, over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces. I left mine soft, however, you can cook them until crispy if you prefer that. Add the potato slices and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently as needed to ensure they are cooking evenly.
- When the potatoes are mostly tender, add the onions. If you are using pre-cooked caramelized onions, give them a rough chop to break them into smaller pieces for even distribution. If you are using raw onions, add them in and cook until soft.
- Whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cooked potatoes, onions and bacon pieces in the skillet and let this cook over medium heat until the eggs are set. After a few minutes, raise the edges slightly to allow the softer eggs to run down into the skillet and set further.
- Sprinkle the skillet with shredded cheese and place in the oven. Cook 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
FREEZER MEAL: Let cool and then portion into freezer safe Ziplocs or resealable containers. The frittata can be thawed in the refrigerator first or reheated in the microwave straight from the freezer.

As easy as frittatas are, I've only made them a handful of time. And I'm not sure why – I love cheese and eggs and onions. And potatoes! Must try this 🙂

The Starving Student says
What is even better is eating it leftover on a sandwich. I tried it in Spain last year and it was amazing!

I see you are using your caramelized onions. I did make them and they were awesome – can't tell you how many different things we topped with them. This would be a great way to use them with the smoky bacon and the potatoes…mmm, I am really hungry now after thinking about this one!

An excellent frittata. Seriously, bacon and caramelized onion, how could it not be great, right?
Anonymous says
what is half and half please. x
Mary says
Half and half is a dairy product that is half cream and half whole milk. Feel free to substitute one or the other or half of each for the small amount in this recipe.

My apartment is small and I don’t have space to store a lot of skillets. Can you tell me what size you used for this? It looks so yummy 😋. Thanks, Linda

I find that a 10″ skillet is the most versatile when concerned with storage space.
