#LiquidGold5 bacon breakfast broccoli brunch cheese cheesy eggs main dish recipe Velveeta

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata

This post is sponsored by VELVEETA® . All opinions are my own.


Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)I remember one of the first things I made with my cast iron skillet was a frittata. I bought this skillet for this purpose entirely, not knowing that a skillet must be well seasoned and oiled before you can even think of making eggs in it. While my frittata was delicious, cleaning that skillet was such a headache trying to get all those pieces of egg off of my skillet. At that point I made it a point to learn how to take care of my skillet and how to cook with it to prepare the type of meals I love to eat. Eventually I got it down, and after good care and proper cleaning, a cast iron skillet ends up being almost non-stick!

One of my favorite things about making frittatas is not only the pan going from stovetop to oven seamlessly, but the fact that you can use any number of ingredients to create a delicious brunch. Another secret to making a great tasting frittata would be adding some Liquid Gold, aka VELVEETA®. I love that VELVEETA® melts so smoothly into a creamy texture that has a great flavor that complements so many dishes. I thought it would be a great addition to a tasty frittata that looks like I spent a lot more time and ingredients on it than I actually did. Aren’t those just the perfect meals? Minimal effort with a lasting impression.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)This is a great way to hide some veggies in a fun way, and I love to have my teens help me with these sort of meals because they are so impressed at how easy it is to come up with something tasty so quickly. Great for lazy Saturday mornings or busy Sundays. I just added some scallions, broccoli and bacon and I love to use heavy cream with my eggs when baking them because it creates a great texture and a fluffy texture that doesn’t dry out. Not a fan of broccoli? Add some spinach instead. Maybe you don’t have scallions? Red onions are fine too. Not a bacon fan? Add sausage or ham instead! This is a simple recipe that’s easy to switch around to suit your own tastes.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata Ingredients:

  • 1 shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups chopped broccoli
  • 5 thick slices cooked bacon, cut into small pieces
  • 1 ounce VELVEETA®, diced into small pieces
  • 8 medium eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions:

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Using a well seasoned cast iron skillet (or a non stick, oven safe skillet), lightly saute the scallions, using a little heated oil.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Once the scallions begin to soften, add the broccoli and continue to sauté for another minute or two.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Add the bacon and toss around a few times.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, then add the heavy cream. Scramble them together, add the salt and pepper, then give it a final stir.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Once the broccoli is slightly softened and the mixture is well combined, you’re ready for the next step.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Add the diced VELVEETA®, and give it a quick stir.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Pour the egg mixture on top, stir it until it looks evenly combined, then let it cook for a minute or two over medium heat.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Once the edges start to round out, which means the eggs are beginning to set up, pop it in the preheated oven and let it cook for about 12 minutes. The eggs should be cooked through and the bits of  VELVEETA® will be melted and bubbling, like Liquid Gold.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Once cool, cut into sliced pie shapes and serve.

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)I love that you can see all the little pockets of Liquid Gold, perfectly melted and tasty,

Broccoli and Bacon Frittata with VELVEETA® #LiquidGold5 (ad)Enjoy!

    I didn’t have any shallots so I used a leek instead. Wow!! It was so good!! Can’t wait to try another recipe from mama Harris.

    Thank you from a 46 year old mom of 3 boys that really like to eat eggs. I am not sure if I should share the frittata or keep it all to myself. ;]

[Sponsored]: Summertime is coming and will be here before we know it! You all know that I love easy meals during the warmer months, and I also love a good meal in a bowl. It’s also Vidalia Onion season 🧅 so I paired this seasonal favorite with pan-seared shrimp and veggies as a light rice bowl using your choice of grains.☺️This meal is an absolute delight!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
