I’ve been really into Swiss chard lately and would LOVE to have made this with Swiss chard but I simply couldn’t find any :/ So, we’re using kale instead. This recipe is super easy! Just steam some kale and then toss it in with some sautéed onion and garlic and pour beaten eggs over top. Then bake it for about 10 minutes and you’re done!

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2 quart baking dish.

Cut the kale into bite sized pieces. Heat a few inches of water in a steamer pot over medium-high heat and steam the kale for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and side aside to cool.

In a suate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until it becomes soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, a bit of salt & pepper, and the paprika. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Add in the kale, stir, and saute for 2 more minutes.

Beat the eggs in a medium bowl and season with S&P if desired.

Transfer the kale and onion mixture to the prepared baking pan and then pour the eggs over top of the kale, covering it evenly.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until the eggs are firm. Let cool slightly, slice, and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Massage & Dry Your Kale 🥬
After steaming, massage the kale with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, preventing a watery frittata and ensuring better texture integration with the eggs.
Pre-Cook Aromatics Separately 🧅
Sauté garlic and onion until deeply caramelized before adding kale—this concentrates their sweetness and prevents raw garlic harshness in your finished dish.
Temper Your Eggs with Heat 🥚
Before pouring beaten eggs over hot ingredients, slowly add a spoonful of the warm kale mixture to your eggs while whisking to prevent them from scrambling on contact.
Finish Under the Broiler 🔥
In the final 2 minutes of baking, switch to your broiler for 30 seconds to create a delicate golden top while keeping the interior creamy and custardy.
Season the Eggs, Not Just the Pan 🧂
Salt and pepper your beaten egg mixture directly before cooking rather than seasoning only the vegetables—this ensures even flavor distribution throughout every bite of the frittata.
