\"Bacon<\/p>\n

Bacon Frittata with Two Cheeses <\/strong>is going to be a hit with anyone who loves bacon and cheese! We used a combination of grated Mozzarella and Goat Cheese, for plenty of cheesy flavor. And this is wonderful to make for a special breakfast, and it’s perfect to make on the weekend, so I’m reminding you about it for this week’s Friday Favorites<\/a> pick!!<\/p>\n

I first made this frittata recipe with Canadian bacon which is tasty and low in carbs. But through the years I’ve been making it more often with thick-sliced bacon, which is what I used for the updated photos. I do hope you don’t skimp on the cheese or skip the green onions though; those ingredients added so much flavor to the Bacon Frittata. I hope you try it soon if you’re someone who enjoys bacon and cheese!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • thick-sliced bacon (or use chopped Canadian Bacon or ham if you prefer)<\/li>\n
  • green onion<\/li>\n
  • grated Mozzarella Cheese<\/li>\n
  • goat cheese<\/li>\n
  • Spike Seasoning<\/a> (affiliate link) or other all-purpose seasoning blend<\/li>\n
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste<\/li>\n
  • eggs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What meat besides bacon can you use in this frittata?<\/h2>\n

    You can make this tasty bacon frittata with cooked crisp bacon, Canadian Bacon, or diced cooked ham, whichever you prefer!<\/p>\n

    What is Canadian Bacon?<\/h2>\n

    What Americans call Canadian bacon is actually more like ham, and it’s a lean type of bacon made from the pork loin. It’s also called Irish Bacon, English Bacon, or back bacon (and in Canada it’s just called bacon!) Here’s more about Canadian Bacon<\/a> if you’re not familiar with it.<\/p>\n

    What kinds of cheese can you use for the Bacon Frittata?<\/h2>\n

    We made the Bacon Frittata with Two Cheeses with grated Mozzarella and creamy goat cheese. But if you’re not a fan of goat cheese, use any other type of creamy white cheese. I think this would be delicious with Monterey Jack, Gruyere, White Cheddar, Havarti, Provolone, or even Feta.<\/p>\n

    What is Goat Cheese?<\/h2>\n

    Goat cheese is a creamy pungent semi-soft cheese that’s  made from goat’s milk. There are many types of Goat Cheese<\/a>, but use a Goat Cheese that comes in a log for this recipe. This is often called Ch\u00e8vre.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. I used thick-sliced bacon from Costco which doesn’t have added sugar. Cut bacon into squares.<\/li>\n
    2. I used a ten-inch William-Sonoma Frittata Pan I got as a gift, but any non-stick 10 inch frying pan with a good lid will work. Use a frying pan that can go under the broiler<\/li>\n
    3. Heat pan over medium heat and cook bacon until it’s very crisp; then remove bacon and drain on two layers of paper towel.<\/li>\n
    4. Remove bacon fat, reserving one tablespoon, turn off heat, and wipe out the pan. Spray pan with non-stick spray if desired.<\/li>\n
    5. Measure out grated Mozzarella and Goat Cheese, and slice green onions. <\/li>\n
    6. Beat the eggs so they’re well combined.<\/li>\n
    7. Turn burner to medium, add reserved bacon fat (or olive oil), then cook green onions just 1 minute to release the flavors. Add crisp bacon to the pan and stir to combine.<\/li>\n
    8. Sprinkle both types of cheese over the green onion-bacon mixture, season with Spike Seasoning and pepper, then immediately pour over beaten eggs.<\/li>\n
    9. Use a fork and gently “stir” to combine ingredients.<\/li>\n
    10. Cover the pan and cook frittata 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat, until eggs are starting to get set and are slightly puffed up. (Start preheating the broiler to brown the top of the frittata.)<\/li>\n
    11. Remove lid and put frittata under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top. (Be careful not to burn it, this only takes 2-3 minutes for most oven broilers.)<\/li>\n
    12. Cut the bacon frittata into six pieces, sprinkle with green onions to garnish, and serve hot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
