How To Make bonnie's bacon spinach frittata

  • 1
    Assemble all the ingredients, fry the bacon crisp, cool and crumble. Thin slice the sharp cheese and dice the onion. Saute the onion in a medium non stick skillet in one tablespoon of olive oil over medium low heat until golden brown.
  • 2
    Add the cream to the onions. Stir for a minute or two until the mixture thickens. This carmelizing will make the onions taste very sweet and give the frittata a nice flavor.
  • 3
    Add the beaten eggs and chipotle pepper to the mixture.
  • 4
    Add the spinach leaves.
  • 5
    Add the cheese slices.
  • 6
    Turn the heat to low and let the frittata cook until it sets. Add a glass lid after one minute. The frittata is done when the edges turn brown and the mixture is solid.
  • 7
    Add the bacon, and serve immediately. Here is how it looks! Enjoy!
