Garlic Scape & Spring Greens Frittata
Equipment
- oven-safe skillet cast iron is ideal
- Bowl
- Whisk or fork
- spatula
- Oven or a lid for stovetop finish
Ingredients
Farmers Market Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 3-4 garlic scapes
- 2 big handfuls spring greens (spinach, chard, or kale)
- 2 oz chèvre or other market cheese
- 1 splash milk or yogurt (optional)
- fresh herbs (optional)
Pantry Staples
- salt to taste
- butter or extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375°F. Beat the eggs with salt and the optional splash of milk.
- Slice scapes into rounds; chop the greens. Add butter or oil of choice in the skillet, sauté scapes for a couple minutes, add greens and cook until wilted, a couple minutes more (you won’t over-cook, don’t worry).
- Pour the eggs over, shake pan a little so everything is dispersed, dot the top with cheese. Cook 2 minutes on the stove until the edges set (less time if you see edges setting), then move to the oven for 10–12 minutes until just set in the center. No oven? Cover and cook on low 10–12 minutes.
- Cool a few minutes, cut into wedges. Good warm or at room temperature.
