Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
- 2 small Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup fontina cheese, freshly grated
Directions
Step 1 -Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.
Step 2 -Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 3 -In a medium bowl, add the eggs, the heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and whisk to combine. Set the egg mixture aside.
Step 4 -In a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced bacon and cook, while stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5 -Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
Step 6 -Reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings in the skillet and drain the remainder.
Step 7 -Place the skillet over medium heat.
Step 8 -Add the potatoes to the hot bacon drippings and season them with the remaining salt and the ground black pepper.
Step 9 -Cook the potatoes, while stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 4-6 minutes.
Step 10 -Add the garlic, the thyme, and the spinach to the potatoes and cook, while stirring often, until the spinach wilts, about 30-60 seconds.
Step 11 -Add the cooked bacon to the potato mixture and stir evenly to combine.
Step 12 -Spread the potato mixture into an even layer in the skillet.
Step 13 -Sprinkle the cheese evenly on top of the potato mixture and let it sit until it just starts to melt.
Step 14 -Pour the egg mixture over the cheese layer in the skillet, ensuring the egg mixture settles evenly over the entire potato mixture. Use a spatula to spread the egg mixture out, if needed.
Step 15 -Cook the eggs without stirring until they are just beginning to set, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 16 -Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 17 -Transfer the frittata from the oven and cut a small slit in the center. If raw eggs run into the cut, bake the frittata for 1-3 minutes more.
Step 18 -For a browned and crispy top, return the skillet to the oven under the broiler for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 19 -Cool the frittata for 5 minutes in the pan.
Step 20 -Serve.
