Mouth-Watering Bacon and Tomato Frittata
When if not on Sunday morning should one prepare a special, indulgent breakfast? Especially if you happen to have breakfast at 11:30 in the morning, like we did this morning. Ah, the joy of waking-up late and then eating a succulent breakfast with you loved one and a cup of nice hot coffee. If this is to be alive, I like it very much!
Now, about the frittata. There are plenty of options what exactly to put in it. You can make it veggetarian, with tomato, mushrooms and onions. Or you can go all-aboard with meat and use bacon (or pancetta), chorizo and ham. Or you can do what we did and mix veggies with meat. There are a very few things that we like more than the combination of bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms. Oh, yes, and nice cheese for topping the whole thing. Mozzarella or Cheddar or any other type that you like, as long as is going to melt nicely. The recipe itself is very easy and simple. It can be also served as light lunch, served with salad at the side.
Ingredients (for 2 big frittatas):
- 4-5 Slices of Bacon
- 10-15 Baby Tomatoes
- 3 Medium Eggs
- 1/2 Cup of Water
- Flour, as much as it takes
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 Ball of Mozzarella
- Oil for the pan
- 3-4 Basil Leaves
How-To:
- Heat up some oil in a non-stick pan on the hob.
- While the pan is heating-up, slice the bacon and the tomatoes to small pieces.
- When the pan is ready put half of the meat and the tomatoes in it.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until tender and almost cooked.
- While they are cooking, in a bowl whisk together the eggs, water, spices and as much flour as it takes until the batter is slightly thicker than that for pancakes.
- Pour half of the batter on top of the bacon and tomato, cover with lid ad cook at medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- When the bottom is cooked, using spatula flip the frittata so now the bottom is on top.
- Put the lid again and cook for 1-2 more minutes.
- Put the ready frittata in a plate and slice half of the mozzarella ball over it
- Arrange 1-2 leaves of basil in the middle and serve it while is still warm.
- Now repeat the same with the other half of the ingredients.
You can't get lost if you don't know where you're going...
