Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Mini frittatas - to make this dish into individual frittatas, simply add the mixture into the holes of a muffin tin and bake. If baking individual frittatas, reduce the cooking time to approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through.

Vegetarian option - Omit the bacon for a delicious vegetarian frittata.

Cooking the frittata - You will know the frittata is ready when it's golden on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out without any gooey egg on it.

Storing - Store the frittata in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and easy breakfast.

Freezing - Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to defrost in the fridge before reheating.
