Welcome to the Good Ranchers' recipe blog! Today, we're serving up a delicious Bacon and Cheese Frittata featuring our Applewood Uncured Bacon. This fluffy, flavorful frittata is made with blended eggs, cottage cheese, and cheddar, then baked to perfection in a hot cast iron skillet. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, it's easy to prepare and pairs wonderfully with homemade biscuits.
Ingredients:
8 eggs
5 slices Good Ranchers Applewood Uncured Bacon
1/3 cup Cottage Cheese
1/3 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese
4 tablespoons Butter
Handful of parsley, chopped
Salt and Pepper
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a pan or air fryer, cook the bacon slices until crisp and chop into small pieces.
Crack the eggs into blender and add the cottage cheese. Blend about 30 seconds until totally combined and a little frothy. Season with about a teaspoon each of salt and pepper and mix to incorporate.
Add the butter to a large cast iron skillet and place in the oven to melt the butter and heat the skillet.
In a bowl, combine the blended eggs, cheese, and bacon (reserve some bacon pieces to sprinkle on the finished frittata). Take the skillet out of the oven. It should be hot, and the butter just melted, covering the entire bottom of the pan. Pour in the egg, bacon, and cheese mixture and place back into the oven for 40 minutes or until it’s cooked through.
Garnish with the chopped parsley and reserved bacon pieces. Cut into wedges and serve with biscuits or any of your favorite breakfast sides (We love biscuits with this frittata)!
Ingredients for the Biscuits:
2 cups all-purpose Flour
2 ½ tsp Baking Powder
½ to ¾ tsp Salt
6 tbsp cold, unsalted Butter
¾ cup Milk
Instructions for the Biscuits:
To make the biscuits, preheat oven to 450°. Using a box grater, grate the cold butter and place in the freezer while you prep the other ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Take the butter from the freezer and add it to the flower mixture. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and mix until most of the dry ingredients are moistened. Gather the dough, form into a ball, and knead gently in the bowl. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll or pat the dough to ½ in thickness. Cut the biscuits with a glass or biscuit cutter. Place biscuits on a parchment lined sheet pan and brush the tops with melted butter. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until a golden color. Let cool for 10 minutes.
