Description
It doesn’t take much work to get this wonderful swiss chard frittata ready.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons (or so) of olive oil
- 1 medium sized onion, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch swiss chard, leaves only.
- 1–2 cloves of garlic
- 6–8 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon each of dried thyme and basil (or more if you have fresh herbs)
- 1 cup of swiss cheese (yes, I used pre-grated that I found in the fridge).
Instructions
- Saute the onions in the olive oil over medium heat, for about 10 minutes or until soft.
- Add the roughly chopped chard leaves and saute for another 10 minutes. In the meantime, mash the garlic clove together with a few pinches of salt; I find that a fork works quite well for this not having a mortar and pestle.
- Beat the eggs and mix in the garlic paste and herbs. When the chard mixture is ready, stir it into the eggs.
- Add a little more oil (an extra tablespoon or so) to the pan and return the entire mixture to the pan.
- Preheat the broiler.
- Cook over low heat until the eggs appear to be set, while still raw on top, about 10 minutes.
- Put under the broiler to brown the top and serve.
