Frittata with Bacon, Fresh Ricotta, and Greens

This hearty bacon, ricotta and mixed greens frittata is a versatile dish that works brilliantly for a weekend brunch or a light midweek supper. Combining the salty crunch of applewood-smoked bacon with the creamy texture of fresh ricotta, this recipe transforms simple store-cupboard staples into a sophisticated meal. The mixture of kale, chard and mustard greens adds a vibrant, earthy depth that balances the richness of the eggs and cheese perfectly.

Deep and satisfying, this protein-packed dish is ideal for those seeking a comforting yet nutritious meal. While it is best served warm after a short resting period, it also holds its shape beautifully when cold, making it a fantastic addition to a picnic hamper or a healthy lunchbox. Serve it alongside a crisp green salad or some buttery sourdough toast to complete the experience.

How to make Frittata with Bacon, Fresh Ricotta, and Greens

Preheat oven to 177°C. Cook bacon in 12-inch-diameter ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour bacon drippings into bowl; reserve. Return 2 tablespoons drippings to skillet. Add shallots and sauté over medium heat until golden, about 4 minutes. Add half of greens and toss until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Add remaining greens and sauté until wilted, tender, and dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer greens to plate; cool.

Rinse and dry skillet. Beat eggs and salt to blend in large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup Parmesan, then greens and half of bacon. Stir in ricotta, leaving some clumps. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved drippings in skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture; spread greens evenly. Sprinkle remaining bacon and 40g Parmesan over eggs. Cook over medium heat until frittata is just set at edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake until just set, about 20 minutes. Cut around frittata to loosen; slide out onto platter. Let cool 30 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.
