The O’Brien Frittata is another way to make a traditional O’Brien omelette!

I prefer making frittatas to omelettes. You don’t have to worry about getting everything perfect with a nice foldover and pretty presentation. Instead, everything is just cooked in the same pan, the eggs are dumped in and it’s all done together. No folding needed. No worrying about whether or not the end result is going to look restaurant-quality. An O’Brien frittata is very low-stress to make and serve!

Ingredients needed:

• potato
• cheddar cheese
• eggs
• butter
• red onion
• red bell pepper
• Canadian bacon or ham
• garlic
• sour cream

How to make an O’Brien Frittata:

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the potato, onion, bell pepper, bacon and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in the egg mixture; spread it evenly in the bottom of the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes or until almost set.

Bake an additional one or two minutes, just until the cheese is melted.

A frittata is nice to serve as a hearty breakfast, and sometimes we even eat it for dinner. This recipe is meant to serve two (just cut the whole pan in half), but you can stretch it into 3 or 4, if you’d like. Just have some other things on hand for serving with it- maybe a fruit salad and/or muffins or scones.

Top individual servings however you’d like. Add some salt and pepper. I prefer a little sour cream on top, but you might like to add some salsa too. Enjoy!
