Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • Bunch of Kale leaves




  • 4 eggs




  • 2 onions sliced fine




  • 4 pods garlic sliced fine or crushed




  • ½ tsp turmeric


  • ½ tsp chilli flakes




  • ½ tsp mixed herbs like oregano, thyme, basil.




  • 1 tbsp olive oil or any vegetable oil


  • Little butter to grease your casserole




  • 1 tbsp of fresh cream or 1/4th cup milk




  • 2 tbsp of shredded mozzarella or parmesan cheese.

Directions

  • Chop the onions and garlic pods finely. In a skillet pour the olive oil and add the onions. If you have an oven-proof skillet then this dish is much easier to prepare but I don’t, so I finished the baking in a Pyrex dish. Sprinkle a little salt over the onions so that they roast nicely.
  • In the meantime, you can chop your Kale leaves. Wash and rinse them nicely. Kale has a thick stem and if you want to you can keep it or remove it as I did. Fold the leaf in half, lay it on the chopping board and trim out the stem which cuts easily. Do this to all the leaves and then roll them tightly and chop into thin ribbons.
  • Meanwhile, the onions are nicely done, golden brown in fact so it’s time to add the garlic and sauté a little. Add the chopped Kale and let it cook till all the juice runs out and the kale is done. You can sprinkle a little salt as that would help in the leaves releasing more water. If the Kale doesn’t cook in its own water then add half a cup of water.
  • In the meantime, break the eggs in a bowl; add the cream or milk, salt, turmeric and chilli powder if you want. I added chilli flakes.
  • The Kale would have been done by this time. If you are using an oven-proof skillet then pour the eggs in the Kale and cook until the eggs are done at the bottom. Sprinkle the shredded cheese and transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake.
  • If you are using a glass bowl then grease an ovenproof dish and transfer the cooked Kale into the dish, pour the eggs and sprinkle the cheese and mixed herbs. Top with some pine nuts or walnuts for a little more crunch.Bake in the oven till the eggs are cooked nicely brown and crusty at 250 degrees for ten minutes approximately.
  • If you are a cheese lover then garnish with thinly sliced cheese. Cut the frittata like a pie and serve with Garlic bread or any bread of your choice.
