How to Make The Ultimate Breakfast Frittata

  1. Boil diced potatoes in a small saucepan with salted water until tender (about 10-12 minutes). Drain well.
  2. While potatoes boil, heat olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
  3. Add chopped onions and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to combine.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  6. Evenly distribute the potato mixture in the skillet. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Sprinkle the cooked bacon and shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Place the skillet under a preheated broiler (about 5-7 minutes) until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving with toast and orange juice.
