Eggs are a delightful brunch time favorite, but lets step it up a notch, shall we?

I’m a huge fan of frittatas, they’re beautiful, light, delicious, and easy to prepare.  Also, the combinations of treats to go inside of them are almost endless.

Kale Frittata

1 bunch kale (no stems)

1 sweet onion

6 cloves of garlic

1/5 lb hard goat cheese (Midnight Moon is great)

11 eggs (only 2 yolks)

salt

pepper

olive oil

Heat a skillet with oil.  Chop up the onion and add it to the hot oil, sauté until the onions start becoming translucent.  Chop up the kale and add it to the onion.  Cook until the kale is wilted.  Set aside on a plate.

In a large bowl crack the eggs, remembering to only use two of the yolks, whisk them well.  Add the garlic, chopped, the goat cheese, chopped, and some salt and pepper. Then add the kale and onions. Mix together well.

Heat the skillet again with oil; once the oil is hot add the egg mixture, put a lid on the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes. Cook until there are no more runny eggs on top, and WATCH OUT, you don’t want to burn the bottom!

Serve hot with a bit of salad, or let it chill and have it on some toast!

Serves 4-5
