Bacon Mushroom Spinach Frittata
So quick, so easy and so perfect as a quick weeknight dinner or fancy brunch – and you can make it ahead of time too!
I can’t remember the last time I made a frittata. I’m not sure why because frittatas are the best thing since sliced bread.
Seriously. It’s like a fancy omelette, except way easier, and there’s absolute no flipping involved at all.
It’s also one of those elegant dishes you can whip up when having brunch, except no one at the table will know just how easy and effortless this is.
Plus, you can’t go wrong with the bacon-mushroom-spinach combo, especially when extra bacon is involved.
