Breakfast Today: Frittata with Turkey Bacon, Onions & Colby Jack Cheese

This morning I needed breakfast in pinch, but we wanted a variation from our normal go-to breakfasts. When in doubt make a frittata! It goes down in history as being one of the quickest crowd pleasers there is - and people with think you spent more time than you did on the "quiche sans the crust."

Here was my quick recipe:

Ingredients:

6 large eggs

1/4 cup chopped large onion

1/4 cup chopped green pepper

3 pieces of turkey bacon (or your favorite bacon chopped* -- if using pork or beef bacon cook first in a separate pan then drain it and add to step 2)

2/3 cup colby jack cheese

1 teaspoon of unsalted butter

Pepper to taste

*For babies ensure that the bacon is chopped in very small portions smaller than a pea to avoid a choking hazard

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

In a warm oven-safe skillet place melt the butter then sauté the bacon, onion and pepper until onions and peppers begin to soften

Combine the eggs, pepper and cheese in a separate bowl and beat then add to the pan

Once eggs begin to set up on the bottom transfer to the oven and cook until eggs are firm (about 10 minutes)

Transfer frittata onto a plate and serve

Serving size is 1/6 of the frittata

** For babies chop the frittata portion into bite-sized potions about the size of a pea
