Ingredients
| 8 | Swiss chard leaves, with stems |
|---|---|
| 2 | tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided |
| 1 | medium red onion, peeled and thinly sliced |
| ½ | teaspoon salt, divided |
| 2 | teaspoons fresh rosemary, minced |
| 3 | garlic cloves, peeled and minced |
| 8 | large eggs |
| fresh ground black pepper | |
| 4 | ounces ounces goat cheese, crumbled (soft type) |
Instructions
| 1. | Begin by washing the Swiss chard. Cut off the stems, dice them finely, and set aside. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Next, chop the chard leaves. |
| 3. | Heat 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick 9-inch skillet with an ovenproof handle. Add the thinly sliced onion, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and minced rosemary. Sauté for approximately 10 minutes over medium heat until the onions are very soft and just starting to caramelize. |
| 4. | Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves and the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until the greens are just wilted. Remove from heat, then stir in the minced garlic and the finely diced Swiss chard stems. Set this mixture aside. |
| 5. | In a bowl, whisk the eggs. Incorporate the Swiss chard mixture and crumbled goat cheese, stirring to combine. |
| 6. | After washing and drying the skillet, return it to the stovetop. |
| 7. | Preheat the oven's broiler. |
| 8. | Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, pour in the vegetable-egg mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the eggs are set on the bottom. |
| 9. | Transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler and broil for about 3 minutes, until the frittata is firm and golden on top. |
| 10. | Carefully loosen the frittata from the skillet and invert it onto a large round plate. Cut into wedges and delight in serving this flavorful dish. |
