Ingredients

Units Scale

10 Eggland’s Best eggs (large)
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 of an onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
5 ounces of spinach, kale, mustard greens, arugula, or broccoli rabe
Other vegetables, optional
1 cup ground sausage, optional
6 cheese slices, cheddar, mozzarella, swiss or provolone, for example
12 slices of thick-cut bread or focaccia or brioche buns (may be toasted, if desired)
1/4 cup pesto
Tomatoes, sliced, optional
Avocado, sliced, optional
Arugula, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper.
In a preheated saucepan, sauté the diced onions and minced garlic until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the greens (spinach, kale, mustard greens, arugula, or broccoli rabe) and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. If using, add crumbled sausage and other vegetables at this step.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and whole milk until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the pan, spreading evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and slightly golden on top.
Let the frittata cool slightly, then cut into sandwich-sized portions.
To assemble the sandwich, spread pesto on your choice of bread, add a slice of cheese, a portion of the frittata, fresh arugula, sliced tomato, and avocado.
Serve immediately or wrap for a packed lunch.

Notes

Prepare the frittata the night before for a quick meal the next day. Use any greens or vegetables you have on hand. Herbed focaccia adds extra flavor, but any bread will work. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
