Chef notes
I love me a frittata! It's one of the easiest meals you can make. It's also a great way to use up leftovers lurking in the fridge. This version uses leftover Bacon and Caramelized Onion Topping and is dotted with creamy ricotta. It's delicious right out of the oven, at room temperature or even cool, and makes a great breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack!
Technique tip: Cook onions low and slow for optimal caramelization.
Swap option: Use mascarpone instead of ricotta.
