Directions
- Slice the apples into thin wedges and set them aside.
- Beat the eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp; transfer to a plate and leave the fat behind.
- Preheat the oven to broil and position the rack about 4 inches from the heat.
- Grate half of the cheddar and fold it into the eggs mixture.
- Add butter to the skillet with the apples and cook until they soften slightly.
- Return half of the bacon to the skillet and spread the apples and bacon evenly.
- Pour in the egg mixture and cook until it begins to set around the edges, lifting edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath; cook until bottom and sides are firm but top is still runny.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and bacon on top, then broil until the surface is set.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: slice the apples and cook the bacon up to the crisp stage earlier in the day and refrigerate.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently in a skillet; try serving with a simple side salad for a quick meal.
