Number Of Ingredients 13

24 cherry tomatoes
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon light-brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
18 large eggs
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 large white onions, halved and sliced crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
6 to 8 ounces Swiss chard, stems sliced thin, leaves sliced into ribbons
3/4 cup cow's milk feta, crumbled

Steps:

  • Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
  • Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
  • Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
  • Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Time 40m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed
8 ounces Swiss chard, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces, stems finely sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 cup Cooked Rye Berries
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup chopped scallions (from 3 to 4)
1/2 cup chopped parsley
1/2 cup ricotta

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack in top third. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium. When fragrant, add chard stems and leaves. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until just tender, 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until well combined. Stir in rye berries, chard leaves and stems, and all but 1 tablespoon combined chopped herbs and scallions.
  • Return skillet to medium-high heat; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are just beginning to set, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, dollop with ricotta, and transfer to oven. Broil until eggs are puffed, just set, and beginning to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with remaining chopped herbs and scallions, and serve warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh Swiss chard for the best flavor and texture. Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp.
  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Sauté the Swiss chard until it is wilted and tender. This will help to bring out its flavor and make it easier to digest.
  • Use a variety of cheeses in your frittata. This will add flavor and richness to the dish.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat until it is set. This will prevent it from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It is also delicious served cold the next day.

Conclusion:

A Swiss chard frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover Swiss chard and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal.
