Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 large white onion
  • 2 tsp whipped butter
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Swiss Cheese
  • 4 large egg whites
  • 1/2 bunch Swish Chard

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cheese, along with a small dash of salt and pepper. Set this mixture aside for later use.

  3. 3

    Take the Swiss chard and carefully separate the stems from the leaves. Chop the stems into fine pieces.

  4. 4

    Roll the chard leaves tightly and slice them into thin strips, aiming for about 1/8-inch in thickness.

  5. 5

    Place a 10-inch skillet over low heat; add half of the butter and toss in the onions with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Cook the onions gently, stirring occasionally, until they turn translucent, which should take around 8-10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Raise the heat to medium and allow the onions to caramelize, then set them aside once done.

  8. 8

    Increase the heat to medium-high, add the remaining butter, and incorporate the chopped chard stems. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes.

  9. 9

    Stir in the chard leaves and cook until they are wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  10. 10

    Turn the heat down to low; pour the egg mixture into the skillet and add the caramelized onions, along with a bit of salt and pepper, mixing thoroughly to combine.

  11. 11

    Lower the heat again and cook until the edges are set, which should take around 6-8 minutes.

  12. 12

    Once the bottom and edges have set, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is fully set, approximately 4-5 minutes.

  13. 13

    After baking, take the skillet out of the oven and place a plate over the top of the pan; carefully flip it to transfer the frittata onto the plate. Cut it into wedges and serve.
