Bacon Sausage and Goat Cheese Frittata


Have I ever written about how much I love to have breakfast for dinner? Probably, but let me go on about it again for a bit...

Breakfast foods are among my favorite things on the planet... Eggs Benedict, Stuffed Crepes, Sausage and Egg Biscuits... I would eat those types of meals every morning for breakfast, if I could. But sadly, my metabolism runs at the same speed as cold molasses, and so I really do have to stick with bran flakes most mornings. One way I get around this, and manage to get my fix of breakfasty goodness, is to have my breakfast foods at dinner time, right before I go to the gym.

Frittatas are a perfect dinner food, served with some potatoes and a nice side salad. My kids love eggs, so it is also something that they will eat well (as long as I don't go all crazy and start putting vegetables in the frittata).


Bacon Sausage and Goat Cheese Frittata
adapted from Rachel Ray

4 strips bacon, cooked and chopped
4 breakfast sausages, cooked and chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
8 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Fontina cheese
2/3 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1. Saute the onion in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium low heat until softened. Let cool.

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in the onion, the bacon and sausage, the cheeses and the salt and pepper.

3. Coat a 10" inch ovenproof skillet with the remaining oil. Add the egg mixture and cook over medium-low heat until the sides start to set, about 3 minutes.

4. Bake at 325F until the frittata is firm, 20 to 25 minutes.

5. Gently run a rubber spatula around the sides of the skillet to loosen and carefully flip the frittata out onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges to serve.

I'm sorry, I'm crying on your blog. No one in my family but me would eat that and I would love to eat that!
On the other hand, they do like waffles, french toast and pancakes for dinner, so I still get some breakfast foods then.

I would give anything to have some of your food. I should probably think of relocating.

On the other hand, I'd love if I can eat dinner for breakfast :). But I often end up with cereal since I have no time to prepare a complicated dinner-like meal in the morning.

Eating breakfasts for dinner is always fun. That fritatta sounds really good. Eggs, cheese, bacon and sausage... mmm...

This would be my significant other favourite simply because it has goat cheese in it. ;) Unfortunately for him, he would have to make it himself because I gag at the smell of goat cheese. Maybe I can make an effort for him to do this for his birthday. He would be so overjoyed. :)

Me too! I love breakfast in place of any other meal - and your frittata looks like a perfect match!! (I mean, c'mon - bacon AND sausage???)
