How to Make Bacon Cheese Burger Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan and crumble; set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.
  4. In an oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great!), sauté the onion and green pepper (if using) until softened.
  5. Add cooked ground beef to the skillet and brown lightly.
  6. Stir in half of the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
