I understand that you were promised bacon. Apologies: I ate it all. (And who could blame me! After so long away, to be given not just any bacon, but the most delicious bacon in the whole wide world? I take it back: no apologies.) You'll have to make do with photographic and anecdotal bacon, which is almost as good.
Hmmm, apparently there were other ingredients too. Eggs, always a good pair with bacon. Cheese, excellent. Oh, goat's cheese? Well, if we must. Green onion, red pepper, green peas, and basil? Colourful! Oh yes, and bacon.
Gordon calls this a frittata, but I tend to think of it as "a fat omelette you don't have to worry about flipping." To that end, we got about our business of sauteing all the delicious inside bits. Starting with the bacon.
Once the kitchen was beginning to smell adequately like heaven, in went everything else.
See? Colourful! And... healthy? Sure, green is healthy, right? Look at all that green! Bacon? What bacon?
It's snowing goat's cheese! Still healthy, right? No? But goats!
And in with the eggs. Eight of them. I think we left healthy a long way behind. Time to ignore all safety warnings and go full-speed ahead towards delicious - float that parmesan on top and be damned.
After some quality time in the oven, we had ourselves a completed fat omelette that I didn't have to worry about flipping. Of course, now I had to worry about getting it out of the skillet...
Success! Silicone spatula FTW!
No, who am I kidding. Bacon for the win. Always.

how was it??
ReplyDeleteOh, right! It was kind of great. The goat cheese totally mellowed out and became these little nuggets of melty goodness. Then there was the healthy veggie aspect, and of course the bacon. Overall a win!
