For a nutritious bite in the morning, look no further. This frittata has everything you need to fuel your day: lots of protein, a good dose of veggies, and some cheese and bacon to wake that taste buds up. The best part? You don't even need to fire up the oven for this.

Ingredients

3/4 c. Shredded cheddar
3/4 tsp. Kosher salt
3/4 c. Whole milk
12 Large eggs
1 c. Diced roasted red bell pepper
5 c. Packed baby spinach
1/2 c. Medium yellow onion, finely diced
5 slices Bacon, cut into 1/2" pieces
Cooking spray

Method

01

Generously grease an 8" metal cake pan with cooking spray. Set an 8-quart Instant Pot to Sauté on high temperature. Add chopped bacon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon to a paper-towel lined plate and set aside.
02

Add onions to pot and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping bottom of pan to release golden bits, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, 3 minutes, then transfer to plate with bacon.
03

Clean out pot insert.
04

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until well combined. Fold in cooked bacon, vegetable mixture, and roasted pepper. Pour mixture into prepared cake pan and top with cheddar.
05

Add 1 ¼ cup water to pot. Cover cake pan with foil, place on trivet, and lower into pot. Lock lid and set to Pressure Cook on high for 30 minutes.
06

Follow manufacturer’s guide for quick release, making sure to wait until cycle is complete before unlocking and removing lid. Carefully, using handles on the trivet, remove cake pan from pot.
07

If desired, preheat oven to broil and transfer cake pan to oven. Broil until cheese is golden, 2 minutes.
08

Let cool 10 minutes before slicing.
