Tomato Kale Frittata

I am a sucker for a frittata! There is nothing like pulling this delicious dish out of the oven and smelling the spices and eggs together! I made this when my friend Kristen was in town and we ate a couple pieces each. Super easy and so delicious!! Something about the kale also gives it this nutty taste that can't be beat!

Tomato Kale Frittata


Tomato Kale Frittata
  • 2 tbs olive oil (or butter will work too)
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onions
  • 2 small red potatoes boiled and chopped into 1/2 in pieces
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper (for this recipe I used 1/4 cup orange and 1/4 cup purple)
  • 1 cup chopped kale
  • 1 tbs herbs de provence
  • 2 tbs fresh basil
  • juice from 1/4 lemon
  •  8 eggs beaten
  • 1/3 cup goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped organic heirloom cherry tomatoes
  • Salt and Pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a oven safe skillet heat oil add onions and cook until soft (about 3 minutes). Add potatoes and peppers and saute until peppers are cooked through but still firm.  Add kale and cook until wilted for 2 minutes. Add herbs, fresh basil, salt and pepper, and lemon. Continue to stir until kale is fully wilted and soft. Add eggs and stir into all ingredients. Turn off heat and sprinkle goat cheese and tomatoes evenly on top.

Place skillet in oven for 15-20 minutes until eggs are cooked through.

I didn't have any sour cream but would have loved to put a dab with some fresh chives to finish it off! This is a great dish if you are serving brunch or cooking for your family. Full of delicious veggies, and packed with tons of vitamins and nutrients!

Enjoy!

"Ingredients"




This documentary celebrates the "slow food" movement and shows viewers how they can invest in quality food that is produced locally and sustainably while supporting local farmers and their own neighborhoods! I love the interview with Alice Waters and her passion for farm to table, quality food! Directed by Robert Bates this film also highlights restaurants that are helping this movement along and the farms that refuse to become part of America's antiquated, over producing, and environmentally destructive agricultural system.

Enjoy!
