Green and Red Holiday Frittata, aka Tomato, Green Chili, & Bacon Frittata



Servings:  6


It’s the Sunday before Christmas and I wanted to make something “holidayish” for brunch this morning.  One of my very favorite breakfast spots is the “Sea Biscuit Cafe” in Isle of Palms, SC and my favorite dish there is a green chili, tomato, and cheddar jack cheese omelette.  Since the chilis are green and the tomatoes are red, I thought this would be the perfect holiday dish… especially if I made it into a frittata!  Oh my… how delighted I am in the way this turned out! 


INGREDIENTS:
6 eggs, beaten
¼ cup half & half
2 Tablespoons sour cream
1 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese (or your favorite combo)
6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy & crumbled
1 4-ounce can diced green chilis, undrained
½ cup diced tomatoes (if using canned, drain them)
1 small onion, chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:
Saute onion in a small amount of butter, about 1 Tablespoon) until caramelized.  Cook the bacon or use bacon pieces/bits.
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl and add the half & half and sour cream, stirring until well combined.  Add the remaining ingredients & combine well.  Pour this mixture into a lightly greased 10-inch oven proof skillet or 8x8-inch baking dish.  Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until lightly browned and set.

Slice and serve warm with gingerbread toast!  Smile!
