Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- ½ medium white onion
- 6 slices of turkey bacon
- 1 teaspoon olive or avocado oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup cottage cheese or shredded cheese
- 8 eggs (or 3 cups egg whites)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Dice the turkey bacon, sweet potato, red pepper, and onion into small pieces.
- Add them to a pan over medium heat with the olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Let the veggies and turkey bacon cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the turkey bacon is cooked and the veggies are tender. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cottage cheese or shredded cheese to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
- Once the veggie and turkey bacon mixture is cooled, pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir until combined. Pour the combined mixture into a greased 10-inch oven safe skillet.
- Bake for 23-27 minutes, or until the center of the frittata is set and fully cooked through. Once the frittata is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: sour cream, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, etc.
Notes
- While this frittata is packed with flavor on its own, there are several toppings you can try with it: hot sauce, a dollop of sour cream, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, green onions, and red pepper flakes would all be great to pair with it.
- You can still make a frittata without an oven-safe skillet or non-stick pan. You can bake it in a casserole dish, round pie dish, or muffin tins instead. Note however, that the baking times will likely vary between the different options so start with less time and check on it frequently. The frittata is done when the eggs are puffed and set (no longer liquid-y).
- This frittata is gluten-free and can be dairy-free with the omission of cheese. It can also be made vegetarian with the omission of the turkey bacon. It is not vegan.
