BACON AND POTATO FRITTATA WITH GREENS
This is a wonderful meal anytime of day or night. My grandfather used to make frittatas quite often. Instead of finishing a frittata under the broiler he would cook it halfway, put a plate on top of the pan, flip the pan over, and slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the other side. Sometimes a frittata would stick; other times the hot oil would drip on him as he performed this maneuver. It was during these moments that I learned all the really good Italian curse words I still use to this day.

FRITTATA OF SWEET POTATOES, SWISS CHARD, PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Posted for safe keeping. I will be making this soon and will add my notes then. One of the best things you can do for your body is give it a substantial breakfast like an Italian-style flat omelet, or frittata. Frittatas are a great way to use leftovers, and they can be made ahead of time and easily packed for travel. As an added bonus, any of this versatile egg dish that's left from breakfast can be made into a tasty sandwich. The Culinary Institute of America's frittata uses nutrient-rich sweet potatoes, but you can make the dish your own by adding just about any ingredient you like.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Char the peppers on an open fire or under the broiler. Steam them for five minutes in a bag or covered bowl, and peel. Seed them, then cut into 1/4-inch strips.
- Prepare Swiss Chard: Both the leaves and the stems of Swiss chard are edible. When preparing the chard for this recipe, remove the stems from the leaves. Slice the stems into ¼-inch pieces and blanch separately from the leaves. The leaves may be cut into spoon-size pieces.
- Bake potatoes in the oven until they are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Allow them to cool at room temperature. When the potatoes have cooled, peel them and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
- Beat eggs and egg whites and season with salt and black pepper.
- Heat half the oil in a large, 10-inch sauté pan. Add the onions and sauté until brown. Season onions with salt and pepper and allow them to cool.
- Return sauté pan to stove on medium heat, and add the remaining olive oil. Add a layer of potatoes, followed by 1/3 of the onions, peppers, prepared Swiss chard and parsley.
- Pour a third of the egg mixture over the vegetables. Repeat until all of the ingredients are in the pan. You may need to push the layers of the frittata down gently so that all of the ingredients are covered by the egg mixture.
- Place the pan in a 350°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the eggs are all set and the top is golden brown.
- Slide onto a warm serving platter and let cool for five minutes. Slice and serve.
- Prep includes prep and stove top time. Cooking time is baking time.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and place rack in the center. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; set a bowl of ice water on the side. Boil the chard leaves until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, then transfer with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Squeeze them dry and chop roughly. Boil the diced stems until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and add to chopped chard leaves.
- In a small saucepan, bring the heavy cream, garlic, shallot, thyme and bay leaf to a simmer. Cook until reduced by half, about 25 minutes. Strain out the solids and add the nutmeg.
- Meanwhile, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds with a mandoline or sharp knife. Butter a 12- to 14-inch gratin dish. Assemble the gratin by layering the ingredients in this order: a single, slightly overlapping layer of one-third of the potato slices, a sprinkling of salt and pepper, one-third of the Gruyère, half the Swiss chard and one-third of the reduced cream. Repeat once, and then top with one more layer of potato, salt and pepper, and the rest of the Gruyère and cream.
- Bake until the top is browned and the potatoes are fork-tender, about 45 minutes.

Tips:
- Use fresh Swiss chard. Fresh Swiss chard has a vibrant green color and crisp leaves. Avoid wilted or yellowed leaves.
- Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly. Swiss chard can be gritty, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it. Rinse the leaves under cold water and shake them dry.
- Chop the Swiss chard finely. Finely chopped Swiss chard will cook more evenly in the frittata.
- Use a non-stick skillet. A non-stick skillet will help prevent the frittata from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with cooking spray.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat. Medium heat will help the frittata cook evenly without burning.
- Don't overcook the frittata. The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the frittata dry and tough.
- Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. The frittata can be served warm or at room temperature. It's a great dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Conclusion:
Swiss chard and potato frittata is a delicious and nutritious dish that's perfect for any meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this Swiss chard and potato frittata a try.
