Instructions
- Begin by adding the olive oil and half of the butter to a warm, oven-proof skillet, allowing it to melt gently over medium heat.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (if your oven runs cool, you might want to set it to 375°F). Fry the bacon in the skillet until crispy, letting the flavors infuse the oil without draining it afterward.
- Once the bacon is crispy, remove it from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels, preserving the flavorful drippings in the pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and half-and-half, beating them well until fully incorporated, and then stir in the fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Add the remaining half tablespoon of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and mix with the remaining drippings.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, gently tilting the skillet to ensure the bottom is coated and the eggs start to cook evenly.
- Crumble the crispy bacon over the eggs, followed by the Fontina cheese, reserving a small amount for topping later.
- Allow the frittata to cook undisturbed until it begins to set, which should take about 2 minutes; avoid stirring to maintain the frittata’s structure.
- Once the edges are firm, remove the skillet from the burner and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, adding the reserved cheese on top during the last few minutes of baking for a lovely golden finish.
