INGREDIENTS
8 large eggs
1 cup small curd cottage cheese
1 tablespoon butter
1 large jalapeno, sliced thinly
8 ounces bacon ends & pieces, cooked
1 cup extra sharp white cheddar, grated

INSTRUCTIONS
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment in place, combine eggs and cottage cheese. Once combined, mix on medium high speed for 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In an 8 inch cast iron skillet, melt butter over high heat. Add the egg and cottage cheese mixture, reduce heat to low, and allow to cook undisturbed. After the bottom of the egg mixture has set, add the jalapeno, bacon, and top with cheddar. Cook on the stove for a total of about 8 minutes, then transfer to the preheated oven for an additional 5 minutes. When you remove the frittata from the oven, it should be nice and fluffy. Cover pan with a plate for about 5 minutes and then serve. It will fall a bit, but will still taste super light and fluffy.
