Herb Frittata with Bacon

Instructions

• 1
  Chop the onion and garlic finely, cut the bacon into cubes, roughly chop the herbs, and grate the cheese. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• 2
  In a stainless steel pan with a handle that can later withstand being in the oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and let it soften for a minute or two. Stir occasionally; the result should be translucent, soft onion, but not browning.
• 3
  Add the garlic to the onion and stir briefly; it will immediately release its aroma in the heat. Then stir in the bacon and let it soften first, then gently brown, which will take a few minutes.

  Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and mix well with a whisk. You don't need to add salt, as the cheese and bacon will provide enough saltiness to the omelet.
• 5
  Pour the eggs over the browned bacon and stir briefly once or twice to distribute the ingredients evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with herbs and let it cook slowly and, most importantly, without interference.
• 6
  From the moment craters start forming on the top of the omelet, allowing steam to escape from below, count one more minute, then transfer the pan to the preheated oven. Place the rack roughly in the upper third so the omelet has the top heat close.
• 7
  Bake for 2 minutes, then open the oven, carefully slide out the omelet, and sprinkle the surface with the remaining cheese. Bake for another 8 minutes or so until the surface is gently golden.
• 8
  Finally, carefully and using towels or oven mitts, remove the pan from the oven. Remember that the handle will still be hot for a few more moments, so feel free to wrap it in towels or leave an oven mitt on it to prevent accidentally grabbing the pan as you usually would.
• 9
  Use a knife or silicone spatula to go around the edge of the omelet and cut it into portions. It should come off the bottom of the pan quite easily. Congratulate yourself and then let others praise you many times over; you deserve it.
