Recipe from Paleo Grubs

This BLT frittata is a good way to get the wonderful classic flavors of a BLT sandwich without all the bread and mayo. Juicy tomatoes and bacon are a combination that is simply delicious.

Ingredients

8 eggs
4 slices bacon, cooked and chopped
3-4 cups spinach (or other greens of your choice)
1 large tomato, sliced and seeded
1 tbsp almond milk
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, basil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add greens and cook 3-4 minutes until wilted. Add in bacon and stir.
3. Add egg mixture to the pan and place tomatoes on top. Using a spatula, occasionally lift the edges to allow uncooked egg to run under. When the frittata has set, transfer to the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until egg is cooked through. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
