BACON AND MACARONI FRITTATA



Bacon and Macaroni Frittata image

This is quick and easy to prepare- a great meal with salad in the summer or with more substantial sides in the winter. I like that it is a complete meal, without the fatty crust associated with a quiche. If you do not have Cavenders seasoning, pepper will do. I use extra lean bacon medallions so add about 1/2 tablespoon of oil to cook the bacon in.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 ounces macaroni, uncooked
1 (7 ounce) package bacon
1 red bell pepper
1 zucchini
1 garlic clove
6 eggs
salt, to taste
cavenders seasoning, to taste

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, dice the bacon, finely dice the red bell pepper and grate the zucchini, keeping each separate from the others.
  • In a non-stick skillet, start to cook the bacon (with a little oil if you are using very lean bacon). Crush the garlic clove and add to the bacon. Cook for 3 minutes.
  • Add the red bell pepper and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the grated zucchini and cook for a further 2 minutes. At this point, if the vegetables have let out a lot of juice, you may wish to turn up the heat to evaporate the juices, otherwise the frittata ends up rather soggy.
  • Sprinkle salt and Cavenders seasoning/ pepper to taste over the mixture in the pan.
  • Add the cooked macaroni.
  • Beat 6 eggs and pour them into the pan. Cook over a low-medium heat until the bottom half is done, shaking the pan occasionally to discourage sticking.
  • Place a plate over the frittata and carefully (but quickly!) flip the frittata with the pan so it lands, done side up, on the plate. Slide it carefully back into the pan and cook the underside until done. This should take between 5 and 10 minutes for each side.
  • Serve hot with your choice of side dishes!

Provided by Nancy Silverton

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 bulb garlic, peeled
1 dried chile de árbol
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or enough to completely submerge the garlic
1 scallion
3 large eggs
kosher salt
4 slices cooked bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 roasted cherry tomatoes, Toss 2 C cherry tomatoes with 3 Tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sugar, and salt to taste. Broil 10 minutes, until caramelized.
5 cloves garlic "confit"
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 ounce fresh goat cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving

Steps:

  • Garlic confit: Put the garlic, chile, and olive oil in a small saucepan and heat over low until it just starts to bubble. Simmer until the garlic cloves are buttery and spreadable, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. You can store, refrigerated in an airtight container, for several days.
  • Thinly slice the scallion on a bias. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and about 1 teaspoon water. Add the sliced scallion and whisk to combine.
  • Thinly slice the bacon on a bias, like the scallion. Arrange the sliced bacon, cooked tomatoes, crumbled cheese, garlic cloves from the confit, and thyme leaves ready in front of you. Set an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat, and melt the butter in it until the foam has risen and fallen, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour the eggs into the pan. As they cook, use a heatproof rubber spatula to draw the edges inward, away from the sides, tilting the pan so the raw egg fills the empty space created. Continue gently cooking and pulling the eggs until no egg runs off when you tilt the pan. Remove from the heat. Scatter the garlic, thyme, tomatoes, cheese, and bacon over the frittata. Sprinkle with black pepper and grated cheese. Gently slide the frittata from the skillet onto a plate, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and good-quality pasta.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use another oven-safe skillet. Just make sure it's large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • Be careful not to overcook the eggs. The frittata should be set in the center, but still slightly wobbly.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Bacon and macaroni frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover pasta and bacon. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
