Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ounces bacon (3 strips), chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound baby Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 small onion, halved and sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 bunch Swiss chard (8 ounces), stems chopped, leaves thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
8 large eggs, beaten
Salsa or hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until fat begins to render, about 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons oil, potatoes, onion, chard stems, and rosemary; season with salt. Cook until potatoes are tender and browned in places, 13 to 15 minutes. Stir in chard leaves and garlic, season with pepper, and cook, stirring a few times, until leaves are tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish; loosely cover to keep warm.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and place over medium heat. When oil shimmers, add eggs, season with salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until just set, about 1 minute. Serve with potato mixture and salsa.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

Olive oil, for pan
1 cup bacon, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 cloves garlic, smashed
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil and add the diced bacon, garlic, and crushed red pepper. Bring the pan to medium-high heat. When the garlic has turned a lovely golden brown, remove from the pan and discard. At this point the bacon should start to become brown and crispy. Add the Swiss chard stems and the stock and cook until the stock has mostly evaporated. Add the Swiss chard leaves and saute until they are wilted. Season with salt.

BACON AND POTATO FRITTATA WITH GREENS



Bacon and Potato Frittata with Greens image

This is a wonderful meal anytime of day or night. My grandfather used to make frittatas quite often. Instead of finishing a frittata under the broiler he would cook it halfway, put a plate on top of the pan, flip the pan over, and slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the other side. Sometimes a frittata would stick; other times the hot oil would drip on him as he performed this maneuver. It was during these moments that I learned all the really good Italian curse words I still use to this day.

BACON, SWISS CHARD, POTATO, AND VEGETABLE SOUL-SATISFYING SOUP



Bacon, Swiss Chard, Potato, and Vegetable Soul-Satisfying Soup image

I begin to turn to soup when the weather outside turns a bit crisp, and I keep right on making and eating hearty, healthy, warming soups all winter long. This is an adaptable soup. Instead of the swiss chard, you could substitute any dark greens (spinach, turnip tops, radish tops, mustard greens, etc.). You could also substitute beans and/or rice for the potato; add fall veggies like sweet potatoes or squash; etc. Unless you're veggie, don't leave out the bacon. Smoked, cured pork products paired with leafy greens are one of life's simple luxuries.

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces bacon, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and diced
3 celery ribs, diced
2 onions, diced
1 lb swiss chard (leaves julienned, fibery stalks diced)
2 bay leaves
3 potatoes, diced
6 garlic cloves, diced
1 gallon chicken stock (preferably your homemade, but purchased stock will work too)
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • I think it's easier to cut bacon when it's just out of the freezer. Anyway, cut the bacon across the strips, cutting it into small cross-sections of bacon strips. Add the bacon to a heavy-bottomed large soup pot over a medium flame. Render the bacon fat, stirring frequently to keep it from burning to the bottom of the pan. Once the bacon is crispy (but not burnt), remove it to a papertowel lined bowl/plate with a slotted spoon.
  • Into the hot, delicious bacon fat add the carrots, celery, onion, swiss chard stalks, and bay leaves. Saute until vegetables soften, release liquid, and brown a bit (maybe up to 10 minutes or so?). The browning (but not burning) will develop additional flavor that will help to flavor your soup.
  • Once the veggies have caramelized a bit, add the garlic, potatoes, and black pepper. Saute a few minutes until garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
  • Add the swiss chard leaves, and stir well. The garlic and vegetable infused fat should evenly coat and cling to the contents on the pot. Add the chicken stock, enough to cover the veggies, cover the pot, and over a high flame bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer.
  • Keep the soup at a bare simmer for 30 - 45 minutes or so, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are done to your liking. Taste and adjust the salt and black pepper. At this point, you can enjoy the soup as is, or you can use an immersion blender (or the tool of your choice) to further meld the flavors.
  • Serve hot how you like it. With the crunchy bacon pieces, crusty bread, drizzled with a little olive oil, topped with a dollop of sour cream, dusted with a fresh turn of black pepper--the options are endless.

Provided by Mini Ravindran

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices bacon, diced
1/2 cup potato, grated
1 tablespoon onion, minced
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Brown the bacon pieces in a skillet.

  • Brown, stirring frequently.
  • Return the bacon pieces.
  • Add the eggs and scramble with the potatoes.
  • Top with the cheese and cover for 1 minute (or until melted).
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your scramble a more vibrant flavor and color.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just set, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Season the eggs well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other spices and herbs to taste. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the eggs will not cook evenly. Cook the eggs in batches if necessary.
  • Serve immediately: Scrambled eggs are best served immediately after they are cooked. They will start to lose their flavor and texture if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Bacon, potato, and Swiss chard scrambled eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are packed with flavor and nutrients, and they are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
