Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, enough to cover the ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 4 slices (8 ounces) thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 2 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups (2 ounces) fresh baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

Steps

  1. Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F.
  2. Whisk the eggs and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a small bowl. 
  3. Cook the bacon in a non-stick pan or cast-iron skillet, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pan. 
  4. Return the pan to medium-heat, add the potatoes and sprinkle with the pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
  5. Pile the spinach into the pan with the garlic and thyme, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until spinach wilts. Add the bacon back to the pan and stir to evenly distribute.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cheese. Tilt the pan to make sure the eggs settle evenly over all the vegetables. Cook for a minute or two until you see the eggs at the edges of the pan beginning to set.
  7. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the eggs are set, 8 to 10 minutes. To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata. If raw eggs run into the cut, bake for another few minutes; if the eggs are set, pull the frittata from the oven. For a browned, crispy top, run the frittata under the broiler for a minute or two at the end of cooking.
  8. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then slice into wedges and serve.
  9. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
