Garden Frittata

Garden Frittata on a plate
Makes: 4 Servings
Preparation Time: 25 minutes

This frittata with its blend of colorful vegetables and fresh eggs makes a deliciously nutritious single-dish meal for breakfast, brunch, or supper.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium unpeeled red potatoes
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups Italian kale, or other kale variety
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

Directions

  1. Beat eggs, pepper, and salt in large bowl; set aside.
  2. Microwave potatoes until slightly soft, but not completely cooked; then cube. (Alternate method without microwave: Cube potatoes and boil 5 minutes until slightly soft; then drain.)
  3. Chop remaining vegetables while potatoes cool. Mix vegetables together.
  4. Heat oil in a 10-inch non-stick skillet. Sauté vegetables for 5 to 8 minutes; add to eggs and mix well.
  5. Pour egg-vegetable mixture into the same skillet. Cook over low to medium heat until eggs are almost set, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. Cover and let sit until eggs are completely set, about 5 minutes. Egg dishes should be cooked to 160 ºF.

Notes
