Serves5

Ingredients

1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
3 cups (201 g) chopped kale
1 cup (113 g) shredded aged Cheddar cheese
6 large eggs
1/4
cup (60 ml) half-and-half
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2
cup (30 g) chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C, or gas mark 6).
Heat the oil in a 10-inch (25-cm) nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the shallots and kale until the shallots are browned and the kale is withered, about 5 minutes. Top with the Cheddar cheese. Turn the heat off.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the cheese and kale. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the frittata from the oven and garnish with parsley.
