Bacon and Gouda Frittata
I discovered frittatas last year when I started my low carb diet. I’ve tried a variety including Pancetta & Onion Frittata, Broccoli Frittata, Turkey Bacon Frittata, Caramelized Onion, Red Pepper & Zucchini Frittata and even Steak Frittata! You can pretty much be as creative as you like. It’s such an easy dish to make.
This Bacon & Gouda Frittata was inspired by the Bacon & Gouda Quiche in the May 2013 issue of Canadian Living. I didn’t want the crust since I’m watching my carbs and figured it would turn out just as good as a frittata. I was right! It’s a more sophisticated flavour than my standard bacon and onion frittata with the addition of thyme, garlic and the chives. Overall, it’s a keeper and one that is going in my recipe vault!
Bacon and Gouda Frittata
Perfect for a low carb brunch!
Ingredients:
- 6 strips of bacon, chopped
- 1 whole shallot, chopped finely
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 tbsp. fresh chives, chopped
- 3/4 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
- 8 eggs
Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs, Gouda cheese and chives and set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat. After about 4 minutes add in the garlic, shallots, red pepper, thyme and salt and pepper.

- Add egg mixture to the skillet and continue cooking on the stove for 2 minutes.
- Move the skillet to a 350ยฐF pre-heated oven and cook for 15 minutes.

That looks pretty good.I love dishes like this and was wondering if it’s like quiche or is it entirely different.I will probably try it to find out.
A great recipe and who doesn’t like bacon?! Bet it is super flavourful.
Cheers.
I like the inclusion of the gouda, spices and seasoning. It probably changes the taste significantly enough to add variety to the traditional frittata. I’ll check out all the other kinds you’ve tried and take some inspiration! Thanks!
I like these kind of meals – easy to make and they are delicious with a side salad nice and light for the summer time meal. Thanks for the recipe.
