Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Cook bacon: In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are nice and crisp. This should take a few minutes. Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside.
-
Prepare bacon mixture: In a bowl, combine the cooked bacon slices along with the pepper, ground nutmeg, sweet onions (sliced), water, and sugar. Give it a good stir to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed. Set this mixture aside for now.
-
Cook onions: Next, add the sliced sweet onions to the skillet. Cover and cook them for about 5 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Add water and sugar: Once the onions are tender, add the water and sugar to the skillet. Continue to sauté the onions for another 5 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and caramelized.
-
Wilt spinach: Now, add the spinach to the skillet. Cover it and let it cook for about 2 minutes, or until the spinach wilts down.
-
Incorporate bacon mixture: After the spinach has wilted, stir in the bacon mixture that you prepared earlier. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of the skillet.
-
Cook frittata: Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the mixture cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until it’s almost set.
-
Bake in oven: Once the mixture is almost set, wrap the handle of the skillet with foil (to prevent it from burning), then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the frittata at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes, or until it’s completely set.
-
Add cheese: After baking, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the frittata. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional minute, or until the cheese has melted beautifully.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, slice the frittata into wedges and serve it hot. Enjoy the delightful flavors of this Onion, Bacon, and Spinach Frittata with your loved ones!
