Kale, Potato, and Roasted Garlic Frittata
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
1 whole garlic bulb
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1 yellow onion, diced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2" cubes
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 cups chopped kale leaves,stems removed
7 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh chives
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Trim the top 1/4" off of the garlic bulb and place the bulb in the center of a sheet of aluminum foil. Drizzle with the olive oil and wrap, securing the foil at the top of the garlic bulb to ensure that the oil does not drip out. Place the garlic in a small baking dish.
2. Roast the garlic for 40 minutes or until the cloves are deeply golden brown. Let cool slightly, then carefully remove the roasted cloves from the bulb. Set them aside.
3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and shallot and sauté until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 8-10 minutes. Add the potatoes and rosemary and cover the pan. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 10-15 minutes. Add the kale and cook until the leaves are wilted, about 5 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, cheese, cumin, salt, and pepper. Beat together untilingredients are well mixed. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, and evenly scatter the roasted garlic cloves on top.
5. Bake the frittata, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until the egg is firm and cooked in the center.
6. Top with fresh chives and additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a side salad or warm, toasted bread.
