Savory Bacon Kale Frittata Food

SWEET POTATO, KALE AND BACON FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Add the bacon to a 10-inch non-stick skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring regularly, until the bacon is crispy, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a large bowl, add the eggs, 1/4 cup of water and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Drain off all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. (If the bacon has not rendered enough fat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil instead.) Return the skillet to medium-high and add the sweet potato, 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the potato is slightly browned and fork tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Add in the kale and a small pinch each of salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add the bacon back to the skillet. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the egg mixture and half of the Cheddar. Using a rubber spatula, start lightly scrambling the eggs. When the edges begin to set, top with the remaining Cheddar and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the egg is set and lightly puffed up, 5 to 7 minutes
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve.

POTATO AND BACON FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat half the olive oil in a non-stick frying pan.
• Cook onion, bacon and garlic, stirring, until onion is soft.
• Add potato and cook, stirring for about 10 minutes or until tender.
• Transfer the potato mixture to a medium bowl, clean the frying pan.
• Coat the inside of the pan with the remaining oil and return the potato mixture to the pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and water with salt and pepper until well mixed; pour over potato mixture.
• Cook the frittata over low heat, covered loosely with foil, for about 8 minutes or until the base is browned lightly.
• Place frittata under a hot grill (broiler) until set and top is browned.
• Half a cup of grated cheese can be added to the egg mixture or sprinkled on top before grilling, if desired.
• Not suitable to freeze nor microwave.

POTATO, SAUSAGE AND KALE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler and position the rack 8 inches from the heat. Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan, season generously with salt and pepper and beat the eggs until blended.
• In a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. Add the sausage meat and onion and cook over moderately high heat, breaking the sausage up into small pieces, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add the potatoes and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the kale, season with salt and cook, tossing, until softened, about 2 minutes longer.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and tilt the skillet to swirl the oil around the sides. Scatter the sausage and onion in the skillet. Stir the eggs and add them to the skillet. Cook over moderate heat for 1 minute. Gently lift the edge of the frittata and tilt the pan, allowing some of the uncooked egg to seep underneath. Cook until the bottom and sides are barely set, about 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan on top and broil until the eggs are set and the top of the frittata is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Slide the frittata onto a large plate, cut into wedges and serve hot or warm.
