Ingredients
8 large eggs
8 ounces bacon, chopped (8 slices)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 c. half and half
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 c. grape tomatoes, halved
3 ounces fresh spinach, roughly chopped (3 packed c.)
2/3 c. (2.8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

How to Make a Frittata (with Bacon, Spinach, Tomato and Swiss)?
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 – 10-inch deep pie dish and set aside.
Step 2: In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, lay the bacon and cook for about 6 to 10 minutes over medium-high heat, tossing often until browned and crispy.
Step 3: To a plate lined with paper towels, transfer the cooked bacon. Make sure to leave about 1 tbsp bacon grease in the skillet and discard the rest.
Step 4: On medium-high heat, return the skillet. Add the spinach and saute for about 15 to 30 seconds until wilted. On the plate with bacon, transfer the spinach.
Step 5: Place the eggs, half and half, onion powder, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix well until blended, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 6: To the large mixing bowl, add the cooked bacon along with the tomatoes, spinach, and Swiss cheese. Mix well until combined, then pour everything into the prepared pie dish.
Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the Frittata is set.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and cut the Frittata into wedges. Serve them warm. Enjoy!
Notes:
Do not over-season with salt as the bacon and cheese will add salt. You only need around 1/4 teaspoon salt.
