• 1/2 onion medium, finely diced
• 1 1/2 cups red bell pepper

Instructions

• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and preheat the oven broiler to high.
• Place the bacon and onion in the skillet and cook stirring occasionally, until the bacon is crisp and the onion is fully cooked and caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add the peppers and olives to the skillet and saute, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 1 minute.
• Add the beaten eggs. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the eggs are completely cooked, puffed up, and starting to brown on top, 7 to 10 minutes (the broiling time varies from oven to oven, so watch it carefully). Serve immediately. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
