A frittata is an all-in-one breakfast dish that combines eggs, potatoes, bacon, spinach, cheese, and more!

It’s got pretty much everything you would want in a breakfast recipe, but it’s all cooked in one pan and goes straight from the stove to the oven.

There are a few steps involved, though, so I’m going to walk you through the whole recipe to let you follow along in pictures too.

How to Make a Frittata

Ingredients for frittata:

  • new potatoes
  • olive oil
  • onions, thinly sliced
  • bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • spinach, frozen, thawed, and squeezed dry
  • cheddar cheese, grated
  • eggs
  • sour cream
  • salt
  • pepper
  1. Clean potatoes and place them in a saucepan. Cover with water and then bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 10-12 minutes. They should be easily pierced with a knife when they’re done. Remove from heat and drain. Once they’re cool to the touch, peel and then cut into thick slices.
  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add potato slices and cook with onions for another 5 minutes or so until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Add crumbled bacon and spinach and stir to combine.cast iron pan with cooked potatoes, bacon and spinach
  5. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, cheddar cheese, and another dash of salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  6. Reduce the heat on the stove to medium and then pour the egg mixture over the potatoes in the pan—dollop with sour cream.

  7. Take a knife and swirl it through the sour cream and egg mixture to combine them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edge starts to set.

  8. Transfer pan to the preheated oven and cook until eggs are completely set. About 10-12 minutes.
  9. Place a large serving plate over the skillet and flip over so that you’re inverting the frittata onto the plate.a slice of a potato and bacon frittata on a wooden cutting board
  10. You can absolutely serve it that way, but I like the way it looks when the sour cream is face side up. So I actually take a second plate and invert it again! Just a personal preference… tastes the same either way!the entire frittata on a blue plate
