  3. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch, ovenproof skillet over medium-heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the vegetables and cook until softened, 6-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add the greens and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Stir in the crumbled bacon.

  4. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture and give it a quick stir to incorporate the eggs and filling evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until the edges are set, about 2 minutes. Top the frittata with the remaining ¼ cup cheese and transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, about 12-14 minutes. The eggs should barely move when you jiggle the pan.
