Ingredients
The following ingredients have 6 Servings
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (125ml) egg whites (about 4 (see Note))
- salt and black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 shallots (peeled and minced, or 4 scallions, chopped)
- 1 cup (90g) sautéed kale
- 1/3 cup (40g) finely diced cooked sausage ((smoked or spicy))
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh herbs; any combination of parsley (sage, thyme, parsley, or chervil)
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated cheese ((smoked or sharp))
Instruction
- Mix the eggs and egg whites in a bowl with a fork, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch (23cm) cast iron or non-stick skillet. Add the shallots or scallions and cook until soft and wilted, then stir in the cooked kale, sausage, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes until everything is nicely cooked together. Add the cheese and pour the egg mixture into the pan.
- Use a spoon to coax the eggs around the kale and sausage so that it’s evenly dispersed. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes, then run a spatula around the edges to loosen it from the pan. (At the same time, if you can lift a little of the bottom while the frittata is cooking, it’s a good idea to make sure that it’s browning, but not burning. After loosening the sides, wearing oven mitts, invert a large dinner plate over the top of the skillet and flip both the pan and the plate over simultaneously being careful of the hot skillet. Then slide the frittata, cooked-side up, back into the pan and cook for another minute or so. (Alternatively, instead of flipping the frittata, you can run it under the broiler or put it in a very hot oven, until the top is cooked.)
- When done, slice the frittata onto a serving platter. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cool.
