Swiss Chard And Tomato Frittata Recipes

SWISS CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
• Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
• Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

GREEN TOMATO AND SWISS CHARD GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin with olive oil. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, and fill a bowl with ice water. Stem the chard and wash the leaves in two changes of water. Rinse the stems if wide and dice. Set them aside. When the water comes to a boil, add the chard leaves and blanch for about one minute. Transfer to the ice water, cool for a minute and drain. Squeeze out excess water and chop. Set aside.
• Season the sliced tomatoes and the cornmeal lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge the tomatoes in the cornmeal. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and fry the sliced tomatoes for two minutes on each side, just until lightly colored. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in the skillet in which you cooked the tomatoes, and add the onion and the chopped chard stems. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt and the garlic, and cook together for another minute, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the thyme and the chopped chard, and stir together for minute over medium heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl with 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Whisk in the milk. Stir in the cheese and the chard mixture. Transfer to the gratin dish. Layer the tomatoes over the top. Place in the oven, and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until set and beginning to brown.

CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Wash the chard thoroughly; put in a large kettle and steam over medium heat in the water that clings to the leaves. Cover pot while steaming. When chard is tender, after about 10 minutes, drain, reserving liquid for another use, like making a broth, and coarsely chop the tender leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the butter and oil in a saute pan, a straight-sided quiche pan or a shallow baking dish that can go in the oven. When the butter has melted and the foam begins to subside, add the minced shallots and saute briefly until they are translucent but not brown. Add chopped chard and mix well. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Pour this batter over the chard, lifting edges of the chard with a fork to let batter run underneath. Dot the top with cheese cubes and put in middle of oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove and let cool slightly. To serve, cut into squares or wedges.

SWISS CHARD AND TOMATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Chop the chard. In a skillet, sauté the garlic and onions in 1 tablespoon of the oil.
• Add the chard, cover and lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and drain if juicy.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs, salt and pepper until blended. Stir in the chard.
• Coat the bottom of a skillet with the remaining oil and return to medium heat.
• When hot, pour egg mixture and arrange tomato slices on top.
• Cover and cook until the edges are firm and the bottom is golden and beginning to brown. Turn frittata over and cook for about 5 more minute until eggs are cooked.
• Serve immediately or at room temperature.

SWISS CHARD-SALAMI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water and season with salt. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat to medium and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 7 minutes. Add 1 more tablespoon oil, the chard and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard is tender and any liquid has evaporated, 5 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and gently stir in the potatoes, eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and top with the soppressata. Cook until the edges start to set, 3 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden and set, about 12 minutes.
• Place the bread on a parchment-lined baking sheet; top with the cheese and parsley. Bake until the cheese is bubbling, 5 minutes. Serve with the frittata.
