Instructions
The Preparation
- Gather the ingredients. Clean and slice 1 red bell pepper. Clean, trim and slice diagonally 3 scallions.
- Chop 200 g smoked bacon.
The Cooking
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a nonstick ovenproof frying pan, heat 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped 200 g smoked bacon and cook for 3 minutes until slightly crispy.
- Stir in the sliced 1 red bell pepper and cook for another 4 minutes until the bacon is golden brown and the pepper is tender.
- Add the sliced 3 scallions and sweat for about 3 minutes until softened. For this part, you are trying to gently cook them over low to medium heat without browning.
- Stir in the 150 g frozen peas and heat through for 3 minutes. Sprinkle in the chopped 10 g fresh basil leaves, mixing it through the vegetables.
- Cut half of the 200 g goat cheese into small chunks and scatter on top of the mixture in the pan.
The Eggs
- In a mixing bowl, beat 8 eggs and add the freshly grated 45 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and season generously with ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper and ½ tsp. salt or to taste.
The Frittata
- Pour the egg mixture into the pan over the cooked vegetables. Gently shake the pan to distribute the eggs evenly.
- As the frittata begins to set at the bottom, grate the remaining of the 200 g goat cheese on top and season with ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper.
- Preheat the broiler to the highest setting. Place the pan under the broiler for 5 minutes, until the frittata is cooked through and golden on top. Carefully remove from oven and cut into wedges within the pan.
