Description
This simple Swiss chard frittata combines sweet, slow-sautéed onions with vibrant chard for a delicious and colorful dish that’s perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 medium-sized onion, roughly chopped
- 1 bunch swiss chard, leaves only, roughly chopped
- 1-2 cloves of garlic, mashed
- 6-8 eggs
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the roughly chopped onion and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Add the chopped swiss chard leaves to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 10 minutes, until the chard is wilted and tender.
- While the vegetables are cooking, mash the garlic cloves and beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the mashed garlic, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the eggs and mix well.
- Once the chard is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Stir gently to combine.
- Cook the frittata over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the edges are slightly golden.
- Optional: For a more browned top, place the skillet under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- This frittata is just as delicious the next day and can be enjoyed cold or reheated.
- It makes a great sandwich filling between slices of French bread.
- You can substitute the swiss chard with spinach or kale if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
