About this recipe
Low Carb Breakfast Frittata with the Thermomix TM7 is the answer for anyone searching for a healthy breakfast recipe that skips the bread but not the flavour. This all-in-one kitchen machine takes the effort out of morning cooking: spring onions are chopped in seconds, the egg and double cream base is whisked into a smooth, lump-free mixture, and gentle, even heat sets the frittata to a fluffy finish with melted Cheddar running through every slice. Crispy bacon brings a smoky saltiness that pairs beautifully with tender fresh spinach, while a pinch of dried parsley and ground pepper lifts the whole bake. Whether you are planning Sunday brunch, a protein-rich start to a busy week, or meal prep portions for the fridge, this frittata delivers consistent results with minimal washing up. It is the kind of quick breakfast that feels indulgent yet stays low in carbohydrates, making it a favourite for keto and low-carb households alike.
Preparation tips
- Cut the bacon into pieces before frying so the fat renders evenly and the edges turn properly crisp; this gives every slice of frittata a smoky, salty bite rather than chewy strands.
- Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing. The Cheddar and double cream base sets as it cools, so portions hold their shape neatly on the plate instead of collapsing.
- This frittata keeps well covered in the fridge and tastes excellent cold or gently reheated, making it ideal for meal prep. Add a handful of extra spinach per portion if you want more greens without extra carbs.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the bacon with smoked paprika-spiced mushrooms and halved cherry tomatoes. The mushrooms give a similar savoury depth while the tomatoes add a juicy sweetness that pairs nicely with the Cheddar and spinach.
- Festive winter variation: swap the spring onions for leek and add crumbled goat's cheese and a few walnuts on top before the final cooking. The creamy goat's cheese melts into the egg base for an elegant brunch worthy of Christmas morning.
