Ingredients

2 slices extra thick cut bacon
6 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 shallot minced
1 cup roughly chopped baby spinach leaves rinsed and shaken dry in a colander
3 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese

Instructions

Preheat the broiler and set the rack so that it is about 5 to 6 inches away from the heat source.
Slice the bacon crosswise into 1/3-inch strips. Place a 7 to 8-inch ovenproof skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium-low heat and add the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is browned and crisped, about 6 minutes, then transfer it with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate. Pour off the fat from the pan.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper.
Heat the butter in the same skillet over medium heat until melted, then add the shallot and sauté for 4 minutes until golden and slightly softened. Add the slightly damp spinach, season with salt and pepper and sauté until the spinach is barely wilted.
Pour the eggs into the pan and stir to combine. Let the eggs cook undisturbed for 1 or 2 minutes, until the bottom is set, then use a rubber spatula to lift the sides of the frittata and let the uncooked egg on top to run underneath the cooked bottom of the frittata. Sprinkle the bacon lardons and the goat cheese over the top of the frittata and transfer it to the broiler. Broil for just a minute or so; keep an eye on the frittata and take it out when the top has just set, but don’t allow it to get more than very lightly golden brown.
