Keto Frittata

A frittata is a type of deep-pan oven-baked omelet that’s usually loaded with vegetables but can also include meat. High in protein and low in carbs, frittatas are an ideal meal on keto.

Serve with a large side salad for a filling dinner, or enjoy as part of an indulgent, filling breakfast. Once cooked, you can also cool any frittata leftovers for later in the week, so it’s worth making more than you need.

Making a frittata is a little more involved than making a regular omelet, but your efforts will be rewarded. This recipe is delicious!

Keto Frittata

Ingredients For Four Servings

• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 ounces baby spinach
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit/180 degrees centigrade. 
2. Place a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
3. Grease the pan with a bit of butter, and then cook the bacon for 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
5. Add the spinach and cook until wilted – usually about 1-2 minutes.
6. Spread the ingredients out evenly and then cover with the grated cheese. Remove the pan from the heat.
7. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper and whisk until smooth.
8. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet so that it covers the other ingredients.
9. Place the pan in your pre-heated oven for 20 minutes or until the eggs are set.
10. Remove from the oven, slice into four even pieces, and serve.

Note: Do NOT use a skillet with a plastic handle; it will melt! Use an all-iron pan instead.

Bottom Line

This keto frittata is perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner. Eat it warm straight from the oven, or allow it to cool and chill it for later. Or why not do both? After all, this recipe makes four generous servings!

Eggs and bacon are keto diet staples, and spinach is too. But, if you eat them all the time, they can soon become boring. This recipe gives these tried and tested keto ingredients a much-needed twist, and you’ll quickly forget that this is just another egg, bacon, and spinach meal.

Not a bacon fan? Make your frittata with sausage instead. Don’t like spinach? Try some green pepper, zucchini, or red onion. So long as you choose low-carb ingredients, there are endless ways to modify this fantastic recipe!
