I like eggs.  A lot.  As a result, I cook eggs often, probably at least once a week as part of our dinner.  Eggs are so easy — I always have them on hand, they’re perfect for any time of day, they can be easily combined with other ingredients and they cook quickly.

This week has been pretty busy; I’ve been working on grad school class work during much of my time.  This recipe was the perfect way to make a quick meal while using some of our CSA vegetables.

Chard and Cheddar Frittata

Print Recipe
Prep Time 20 minutes mins
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
Total Time 35 minutes mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard 5 - 10 leaves
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Required equipment: oven-safe skillet

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
    • Cut the chard leaves by running a knife down the center along each side of the stem. Put the leaves in one pile and the stems in another. Chop all the stems into 1/2 inch slices, keep separate. Roughly chop the leaves, keep them separate.
    • Dice the onion.
    • In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, warm the olive oil on medium heat, then add the chopped stems and onion. Cook until the onions and stems are soft (about 5 minutes).
    • Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a medium sized bowl and beat them with a fork. Stir in the cheese.
    • To the skillet, add the chopped chard leaves. Cook until they are wilted, about 2 minutes.
    • Add the egg/cheese mixture to the pan. Move around the ingredients so that everything is evenly distributed.
    • Move the pan to the oven. Cook the frittata for 15 minutes. When the frittata is cooked through, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

    I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
