Keto Parmesan and Bacon Frittata

The Keto Parmesan and Bacon Frittata is a great option for a light dinner, brunch, or breakfast. This frittata with eggs, bacon, and parmesan cheese provides a lot of protein, and each bite has a deep, delicious flavor with few carbohydrates. The parmesan lends a nutty richness that goes well with the smoky bacon, while the heavy milk gives the frittata a soft, creamy texture. We include a little spinach and onion as they provide a fresh taste and also make the dish healthy. This rich and substantial frittata is ideal for anyone on a ketogenic diet, whether we serve this frittata hot out of the oven or cold as leftovers.

• ½ cup onion

• 2 tbsp. butter
• Salt and pepper

INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

• Eggs keep the dish nutrient-dense and satisfying while adding structure and protein. The frittata has a deeper flavor and a fluffy texture when we make it with large, fresh eggs. They serve as the foundation that holds everything in place.

HEAVY CREAM:

• Heavy cream adds healthy fats and produces a creamy, smooth consistency for keto balance. The frittata won’t dry out because of heavy cream.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• Parmesan cheese gives bacon a nutty, pungent taste that goes well with it. It also increases calcium and protein. Grate it fresh for the greatest texture and flavor.

BACON:

• Bacon provides the smoky and salty flavor in this frittata. Crispy bacon adds the crunch. Use pancetta or turkey bacon in the bacon place.

ONIONS:

• The sweet taste of onions will fix the rich taste of bacon & cheese. We keep the flavor mild by cooking it until it is tender.

SPINACH:

• Spinach adds color, fiber, and other micronutrients while containing few carbohydrates. Sautéing fresh spinach causes it to quickly wilt.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil or butter gives the frittata richness and keeps it from sticking. Olive oil lends a milder accent, and butter gives a classic flavor. Both are good for sautéing.

SALT & PEPPER:

• Season the frittata with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste to avoid overwhelming the bacon and parmesan. Add only a little because bacon is naturally salty.
