Ingredients

• 6 cups Swiss chard
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 8 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly rinse the Swiss chard under cold water to remove any grit. Strip the leaves from the stems, chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces, and finely slice the stems. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped Swiss chard stems first and cook for 2-3 minutes to soften. Then add the leaves, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they wilt. Turn off the heat and set the skillet aside.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Melt the butter in the skillet with the cooked Swiss chard and onion mixture, ensuring the mixture is evenly spread out.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, gently tilting the pan to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed. Avoid stirring.

Step 9

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
