Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. While oven heats, heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) oven-safe skillet with oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute until mushrooms are golden brown and very tender, ~8 minutes.
  3. To mushrooms, add onions and bell peppers and continue cooking until onions are soft, 3 to 4 minutes more. Season with some salt.
  4. Pour eggs over vegetables and stir to combine everything.
  5. Transfer frittata to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. (Frittata is done when eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.)
  6. When frittata is nearly finished, heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and fry on both sides until crisp, ~8 minutes total. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  7. Slice frittata into wedges. Serve with bacon on the side. Enjoy!
