Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 6 wedges
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan
1/4 pound sliced pancetta, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 bundles arugula, trimmed and chopped, about 3 cups, loosely packed
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
12 extra-large eggs
1/3 cup half-and-half, eye ball it
1 teaspoon salt
Black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, pancetta, and garlic to the pan. When pancetta browns at edges and begins to crisp, add arugula. Wilt arugula, stir in tomatoes. Beat eggs together with half-and-half. Whisk in salt and pepper. Pour eggs over fillings and let eggs set. Using a spatula, raise eggs off the bottom of the skillet, allow more of the liquid egg to settle. When the frittata has set, transfer to oven and cook 10 to 12 minutes until top is deep golden brown. Remove the frittata and let it stand 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

If you use bacon instead of pancetta, it's 327 calories and 26g fat!!! MC probably doesn't take into account the fat that renders off.

Holy cow that's fattening! :D
Glad I asked before I made it! Thank you!

I tried playing with it, to see where I could eliminate. The 12 eggs kill you in this one. I suppose egg substitute would help. Using 2% for the half and half didn't make much of a difference. But, I guess anything with 12 extra large eggs is bound to be fat laden.

good point, it does make you laugh though!:D

Does that answer your question? :p

If you still want to try it - I would use EggBeaters, fat-free half and half, or even skim milk, and turkey or veggie bacon (or center-cut bacon, but I don't eat red meat).

The three! tablespoons! of olive oil don't help either. You could very easily do this with a couple teaspoons of really good olive oil for flavour. Just spray a nonstick pan lightly with cooking spray, add a bit of olive oil (spraying first helps the oil slither over to cover the whole pan) and do the whatever-bacon and arugula in that.

Skim milk, or unflavoured yogourt, or evaporated skim milk, or low-fat or fat-free "cream", could all be used to substitute for the half-and-half. Really, anything milky works just fine, I've found; even using skim milk doesn't seem to make much, if any, difference.

You know, I always skip (or at least significantly cut down) the oil - so I completely missed that one :eek: So what CR said...

[linsleyd]

You're right. I bet with egg substitute and less oil it would really make a difference. I won't skimp on the bacon because that's just silly!
I think I'll try this this weekend and see how it turns out!

Perhaps you could try turkey bacon. I have been buying the Louis Rich brand of turkey bacon and it is really good. My son and husband had no idea that they ate turkey bacon...........

You know ... 300 calories isn't really fattening! I think you meant to say...Holy Cow that has a lot of fat grams :D and you are right ... it does, but once again, it fits into my low-carb meal plans just perfectly ....

I agree. I think with a nice green salad it would make a lovely meal.

Thanks so much linsleyd for posting this! I made a version of it for brunch today, and it was VERY good! In half a recipe, I used just a teaspoon or so of olive oil, regular bacon (3 strips), 4 eggs and 4 egg whites, no milk or cream, but sprinkled a bit of asiago on the top (maybe 2 Tbsp or so), oh, and I used fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I loved the flavors together! Thanks again for the recipe!
