Breakfast Frittata

Lately our chickens are producing scads of very adorable baby size chicken eggs.  We refreshed our Flock last spring. Now our refrigerator is stuffed with Tiny little eggs. Come on over and grab a dozen 🙂

our chicken's eggs

Our menus lately use quite a few eggs and those almost grown hens just keep delivering more! We increased the flock from four really old hens to eleven.  A rooster baby that thinks he’s all that and loves to attack me somehow slipped into the group 🙁

This Delicious frittata pulled my son-in-law out of bed. I texted him to come eat breakfast this morning. He loaded Kayti in truck and drove right over!

I sent him pictures. Those bacony smells grabbed him right through the phone!!

I sent him more pictures as the frittata was getting smaller… and smaller. Dave and Evan wouldn’t wait!

Brian arrived just in time to finish it up! A 9×13 pan of frittata quickly became a lovely, bacony, breakfast memory. And there were only 5 of us.

Feeding a really large hungry bunch of folks? You may need two of this gluten free frittata recipe

Breakfast Frittata Recipe:

Frittatas and omelets are great way to use up a bunch of eggs and bacon in a hurry.

This Tomato, Bacon and Cheese frittata is low carb and gluten free. And it uses Leftovers!

  • Put in anything you think will add flavor.
  • Have cilantro? Chop it up and put it it there
  • Out of tomatoes? Maybe you have salsa instead? .
  • Onions, garlic even celery will be great in this recipe. Just cook these in with the bacon before adding them to the mix.
  • What else have you got hanging about in the fridge? It just might be an excellent addition.

This egg frittata recipe is very simple to make. The versions you can create are infinite!

My  Sundried Tomato Kalamata Olive Frittata is an example of that. I have used many leftovers up in this egg casserole for both dinner and breakfast. Get creative with your spices too!

This fragrant eggy dish is filled with bacon, tomatoes and cheese, and your favorite veggies. Make this low carb frittata for a crowd of hungry people. This filling baked frittata is attractive and appetising in a pie plate or casserole dish.  

All it takes is chopping the veggies. Cooking the bacon on the stove before baking is important too. You want it completely cooked before adding it to the frittata for perfect texture and flavor.

ABOUT BACON and other smoked meats:

We went years and years without bacon on our menus. Dave insisted on avoiding the bad chemicals that bacon contains. Sodium nitrites in particular.

Now you can find bacon without the nasty additives right in the local grocery store. 

Are struggling to find good sustainably sourced non processed smoked bacon and other meats? Try butcher box(referral link).

Find a good local brand in your area for natural smoked meats if you can. It’s So worth it to support local farmers.

Read this article on Natural Uncured bacon  for more information about why uncured smoked meats are best for your family.

Find a source for good quality uncured lower salt meats. Put bacon back into your diet. 

 Bacon and eggs=Happiness. This Frittata Recipe is an awesome way to enjoy both!

LOW CARB AND KETO:

This frittata recipe is low carb. With about 9 frittata carbs per serving as the recipe is written. You CAN make it even lower carb by replacing the milk with heavy cream. Low carb veggies will also lower the carbs in this recipe to make it a keto frittata.

Eggs are naturally high protein and fat with little carb value. They are always a great choice for low carb dieters. Bacon is perfect for building the flavor and sustaining fats a keto frittata recipe requires.

Your home will overflow with yummy bacony breakfast smells and fill tummies with a scrumptious low carb egg frittata. Enjoy!
