FRITTATA



Whisk together eggs, cream, salt and pepper; set aside.


In a sauté pan, heat the 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add onion and tomatoes, stirring well until the onion is soft. Set aside.


Spray a 1/2-sized hotel pan with non-stick cooking oil. Layer the following: turkey, turkey bacon, onion-tomato mixture and cheeses.


Slowly add the egg-cream mixture, pouring evenly over the entire pan, pressing lightly and saturating thoroughly.


Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven until puffed and set, about 45-55 minutes. If needed, cover with aluminum foil if the top appears too brown.
