Description

Chef John's bacon and potato frittata recipe includes Swiss chard and Parmesan cheese, and is perfect at breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon, chopped
1 potato, peeled and sliced into thin 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons water, or as needed
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 bunch Swiss chard, chopped
8 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
2 Cook and stir bacon in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat until evenly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain all but 1 teaspoon bacon grease from the skillet.
3 Stir potato slices, water, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper into bacon; cover the skillet with a lid and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.
4 Mix Swiss chard into potato mixture; cook and stir until chard is slightly wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
5 Pour eggs over potato-chard mixture, stir gently, and remove skillet from heat. Top egg mixture with Parmesan cheese.
6 Broil in the preheated oven until eggs are set and frittata is golden brown around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes.
