Swiss Chard Frittata Recipes

SWISS CHARD-SALAMI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 7 minutes. Add 1 more tablespoon oil, the chard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard is tender and any liquid has evaporated, 5 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and gently stir in the potatoes, eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and top with the soppressata. Cook until the edges start to set, 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden and set, about 12 minutes.
• Place the bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet; top with the cheese and parsley. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, 5 minutes. Serve with the frittata.

CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Wash the chard thoroughly; put in a large kettle and steam over medium heat in the water that clings to the leaves. Cover pot while steaming. When chard is tender, after about 10 minutes, drain, reserving liquid for another use, like making a broth, and coarsely chop the tender leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the butter and oil in a saute pan, a straight-sided quiche pan or a shallow baking dish that can go in the oven. When the butter has melted and the foam begins to subside, add the minced shallots and saute briefly until they are translucent but not brown. Add chopped chard and mix well. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Pour this batter over the chard, lifting edges of the chard with a fork to let batter run underneath. Dot the top with cheese cubes and put in middle of oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove and let cool slightly. To serve, cut into squares or wedges.
