INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
- The frittata’s structure & light texture come from the eggs, which also add rich protein to prolong feelings of fullness. They produce a soft, fluffy base that expertly binds all the ingredients together.
CAULIFLOWER:
- Cauliflower gives volume without adding carbohydrates in addition to providing a mild flavor that complements the smoky bacon and cheese. It also adds a little crunch for texture & fiber.
BACON:
- The smoky bacon boosts the taste of every bite of this frittata. Additionally, it offers a crispy texture that complements the cauliflower & soft eggs.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The smooth melting of cheddar cheese adds a creamy, cheesy deliciousness to the dish. It adds a strong, acidic flavor & aids in binding the ingredients.
HEAVY CREAM:
- The frittata remains soft & sensitive after baking, because of the richness & moisture that heavy cream provides. Additionally, it improves the creamy texture without adding too much weight.
BUTTER:
- Butter keeps food from sticking when cooking & provides taste. It contributes to the development of a delicious, golden crust around the edges.
GREEN ONIONS:
- The green onions counterbalance the richness of the cheese & bacon with their crisp, slightly sharp flavor. They also contribute a pleasing aroma & color.
SALT & BLACK PEPPER:
- Black pepper & salt improve the dish’s flavor in general. They enhance the inherent flavors of the cauliflower, bacon, & eggs.
