Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups half and half cream
- 5 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 dash nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Beat the eggs, half and half, cornstarch, salt and nutmeg thoroughly until all ingredients are completely blended.
- Blend the 2" spaghetti pieces, green onion rings and bacon pieces in another bowl until evenly mixed.
- Coat a 1 1/2 quart round baking dish, including walls, with spray or margarine. Empty the spaghetti mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Add the frittata batter to cover the filling mix.

Tip:
Don’t have Fontina cheese? Substitute mozzarella, cheddar or another cheese that melts well and would taste good with the Parmesan.
Simply delicious.

The directions say mix in nutmeg but it is not mentioned in the. How much?
Hi Lucy,
Thanks for noticing that I missed an ingredient. I went back to my original recipe and fixed it on the page. It calls for a “dash” of nutmeg, which is just a quick shake or a little pinch, much less than a 1/4 teaspoon.

Amounts of Ingredients?
by: Linda J.
This recipe looks great, but what quantities of green onions, bacon bits, and Fontina cheese do you need?
From Karen:
Good question Linda. I usually suggest in a recipe like this that you just add the amount that would taste good to you. If you like lots of onion flavor, pack them in, if not, go light.
I would suggest for 6 eggs, about 2 to 3 green onions, chopped, about 1/3 cup crumbled bacon and 1/2 cup of cheese. Just my estimates though.

Sorry, as already stated just add the amount you like. You can mix different items to your taste.

Thanks for the suggestion, Karen. I guess I’m just not adventurous enough in the kitchen! I’m always looking for recipes that give me exact amounts.
