With juicy tomato slices, fresh basil, and a little bacon for flavor, this quick frittata delivers the mouthwatering flavors of pizza without the fuss of making your own Paleo pizza crust.

Ingredients
Scale
- 10 large eggs;
- 5 bacon slices, cut into small chunks;
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced;
- 4 oz. baby spinach leaves;
- 2 small ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced;
- 3 tsp. wholegrain or homemade mustard;

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 F.

- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook until it harden just a little, and place the tomatoes on top.
