Baconandmacaronifrittata Recipes

MACARONI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In medium bowl, beat eggs and cornstarch. Stir in capers, olives, and parsley; set aside. In a 10" ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add onion and pepper; sauté until softened. Add macaroni; season with salt and pepper. Stir together until heated. Remove from heat. Pour egg mixture evenly over mixture in skillet. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes. Remove cover; place skillet under broiler for 2 to 3 minutes (until top is slightly browned). Cut into wedges, top with tomatoes and basil. Serve immediately.

BACON CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, butter, salt and pepper until blended. Pour into a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with onions, bacon and cheese. , Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes.

CHEESY BACON AND HASH BROWN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack in the top third of the oven.
• Put the bacon in a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the red onion to the skillet along with the hash browns. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are beginning to brown and get crispy, about 3 minutes. Stir the potato mixture with a rubber spatula. Re-spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the skillet and cook, undisturbed, to brown a bit more, another 2 minutes. Add the kale and another 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the kale is wilted, another 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the grated cheeses. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the mixture looks like loose scrambled eggs, about 2 minutes. Cook, undisturbed, to set the bottom, about 1 minute longer. Place the skillet under the broiler until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

BACON AND MACARONI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook the macaroni according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, dice the bacon, finely dice the red bell pepper and grate the zucchini, keeping each separate from the others.
• In a non-stick skillet, start to cook the bacon (with a little oil if you are using very lean bacon). Crush the garlic clove and add to the bacon. Cook for 3 minutes.
• Add the red bell pepper and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
• Add the grated zucchini and cook for a further 2 minutes. At this point, if the vegetables have let out a lot of juice, you may wish to turn up the heat to evaporate the juices, otherwise the frittata ends up rather soggy.
• Sprinkle salt and Cavenders seasoning/ pepper to taste over the mixture in the pan.
• Add the cooked macaroni.
• Beat 6 eggs and pour them into the pan. Cook over a low-medium heat until the bottom half is done, shaking the pan occasionally to discourage sticking.
• Place a plate over the frittata and carefully (but quickly!) flip the frittata with the pan so it lands, done side up, on the plate. Slide it carefully back into the pan and cook the underside until done. This should take between 5 and 10 minutes for each side.
• Serve hot with your choice of side dishes!
