Breakfast Frittata Recipe

Chard, Caramelized Onion and Gruyere Frittata
Recipe from Mid Atlantic Innkeepers COOKBOOK
Courtesy of Chris Craig, Laurel Lodge


Dining Room ~ Laurel Lodge
Ingredients:
• 1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced 
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• ¼ bunch Swiss chard
• 3 eggs
• 2 Tbsp. cream
• ¼ tsp. salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/3 c. grated gruyere cheese
• 1 Tbsp. butter
Directions:
Up to 3 days ahead of serving, warm olive oil in skillet or pot. Add onion and cover for 10-15 minutes, until wilted. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized—golden brown and sweet. Refrigerate until needed. Wash chard and remove from stem and large ribs. Chop leaves. Cook in hot skillet, stirring frequently until wilted. Drain or press out water. If prepared in advance, cool and refrigerate or
freeze until needed.
At the time of service, set oven on broil.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper to taste, and grated cheese.
In 6" iron skillet, heat butter on medium heat. Add ½ c. of the wilted chard and 2 Tbsp. of the caramelized onions, stirring until hot.
Add egg mixture and distribute greens and onion evenly throughout. Cook until eggs are nearly set.
Place skillet under broiler for 3 minutes or until puffed and a light golden color. Serve immediately.
The above provides large servings to two people. The ingredients may be doubled in larger skillet for four-six people, but cooking and broiling time will increase. You may substitute spinach or other greens for the chard.
