For the Frittata
  • 4 slices Bacon Adds richness and smokiness; substitute with olive oil or butter for a vegetarian version.

  • 6 large Eggs Forms the base of the frittata; always use fresh, room temperature eggs for the best results.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a cold, heavy-bottomed oven-safe pan, place diced bacon and turn the heat to medium. Cook for about 5 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
  3. Add the sliced shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  4. Toss in the chopped kale with a splash of water and cover with a lid. Steam for about 2-3 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in the cooked butternut squash and warm it through for about another 2 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together your room temperature eggs, along with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies in the pan and crumble the goat cheese on top.
  8. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until puffy and set in the center.
  9. Once baked, let the frittata sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
