FARMER'S FRITTATA

Steps:

• Fry the bacon in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool slightly. Cut it into 2-inch pieces.
• Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs in a small bowl until frothy.
• Heat the butter in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add the home fries and cook for 1 minute, or until the fries are nice and crispy. Add the bacon and toss it with the home fries until well combined.
• Pour the eggs into the pan, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the eggs over the home fries and bacon. Using a silicone or rubber spatula, gently pull the cooked egg from the edges toward the center of the pan, while allowing the liquid egg to run underneath and onto the hot pan. When the sides of the omelet begin to rise up the edge of the pan, flip the omelet. It is done when it is nicely set but not overly firm. There should be traces of just-cooked egg in the center of the frittata. Serve hot.

THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)

Steps:

• Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
• Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
• While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
• Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.
