Bacon and Swiss Frittata

We are up and having a little brunch this morning before trimming the Christmas tree. I hadn’t planned a frittata for this morning and certainly was not in the mood for an early morning supermarket run, so as usual, I set out to make do with what was on hand. Luckily, there was some Swiss cheese, leftover fettucine and a little bacon hanging out in the fridge along with some fresh tarragon that still had some life in it. Together they came together for quite a delicious frittata.

Now to the dreaded task of stringing the Christmas lights…

Toss together:

2 cups cooked pasta

1 cup grated swiss cheese

1 clove very finely minced garlic

1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

2 tbsp chopped fresh tarragon

8 slices precooked crisp bacon

Place in a greased six cup casserole dish or pie plate.

Whisk together:

6 eggs

2/3 cup whipping cream

1 tsp salt

Pour over the pasta and chesse mixture. Top with additional  grated Swiss cheese if desired. Bake for about 35-40 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven or until the eggs are set at the center. Serves 4.
