By gaster16

Ingredients

• 12 ounce applewood smoked bacon cut into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces
• 1 cup sliced shallots
• 12 cups (packed (12 ounces) assorted coarsely chopped greens
• 12 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese divided
• 12 ounces fresh whole milk ricotta cheese (about 1-3/4 cups)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium high heat until crisp. Using slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Pour bacon drippings into bowl, reserve. Return 2 tablespoons drippings to skillet. Add shallots and saute over medium heat until golden about 4 minutes. Add half of greens and toss until beginning to wilt, about 1 minute. Add remaining greens and saute until wilted, tender and dry, about 15 minutes. Transfer greens to plate and cool. Rinse and dry skillet. Beat eggs and salt to blend in large bowl. Whisk in 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, then greens and half of bacon. Stir in ricotta, leaving some clumps. Heat 1 tablespoon reserved drippings in skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture, spread greens evenly. Sprinkle remaining bacon and 1/4 cup Parmesan over eggs. Cook over medium heat until frittate is just set at edges, about 10 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake until just set, about 20 minutes. Cut around frittata to loosen, slide out onto platter. Let cool 30 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.
