Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 6 slices bacon
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

Drain most of the bacon fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the butter and diced onion to the skillet and sauté over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 5

Spread the sautéed onion evenly in the skillet, then sprinkle the crumbled bacon and shredded Gruyère over the top.

Step 6

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the ingredients in the skillet, ensuring it spreads evenly to cover the fillings.

Step 7

Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, or until the edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the frittata for 12–15 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. Enjoy!
