Chard and Cheddar Frittata

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 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Total Time 35 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.

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

    @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

    Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

    @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
