Ingredients:

8 large Swiss chard leaves, with stems

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced (If you don’t have rosemary, use any other fresh herbs you like).

3 garlic cloves, minced

8 large eggs

fresh ground black pepper

4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

Ingredients:

8 large Swiss chard leaves, with stems

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced (If you don’t have rosemary, use any other fresh herbs you like).

3 garlic cloves, minced

8 large eggs

fresh ground black pepper

4 ounces soft goat cheese, crumbled

Directions:

  1. Gather all the ingredients and equipment. Wash the produce and prepare it as detailed in the ingredients list.
  2. Cut out the chard stems, dice, and set aside. Coarsely chop the chard leaves.
  3. In a large cast iron skillet (or a skillet with an oven proof handle), heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and rosemary. Sauté for 10 minutes over medium heat, until the onions are soft and beginning to brown.
  4. Stir in the chard stems and garlic, sauté for a few minutes, then add the chard leaves and ¼ teaspoon salt, and sauté for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the greens begin to soften. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the chard mixture and goat cheese, and stir to combine.
  6. Preheat the broiler in the oven. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Once the oil is hot, pour in the chard-egg mixture and cook for about 3 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven under the broiler for 3 minutes.
  8. Fry the frittata from the edges of the skillet and flip it onto a serving platter. Cut into wedges and serve. Add fresh ground pepper to taste.
