Kale And Cheddar Frittata

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 small red onion
• 4 -5 ounces lacinato kale (also known as dinosaur)
• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, such as black diamond
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Recipe

• 1 preheat the broiler of your oven.
• 2 in a 10-inch heavy skillet warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent but not browned.
• 3 add the kale, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and a pinch of salt, and stir until just wilted. reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• 4 the kale should be very tender, and the onions should have taken on a rosy brown color. set aside.
• 5 break the eggs into a medium bowl, and beat them well with a fork. add the cheese and salt, and beat again to blend. add the kale and onion mixture, and beat to mix well.
• 6 wipe any burnt bits from the skillet, and add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil. place the pan over low heat.
• 7 when it is warm, pour in the egg mixture. if necessary, use the fork to gently push the kale around a bit, so it is evenly distributed. cook over low heat until the bottom of the frittata is lightly browned – tease the edge up with a heatproof spatula and peek underneath – and the top looks mostly set.
• 8 remove the pan from the heat and slide it under the broiler until the top is nicely browned, 30-60 seconds. don’t walk away from it while it’s under the broiler; it cooks very quickly.
• 9 cut into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature, with additional salt, if needed.
