Ingredients
Swiss Chard Frittata
| 8 slices Bacon |
| 1 lb Swiss chard |
| ¼ cup Canola oil or vegetable oil |
| 2 cups Chopped onions |
| 50 large Eggs |
| 2 tsp Granulated garlic |
| 2 tsp Kosher salt |
| 2¼ cups, divided Shredded reduced-fat Cheddar cheese |
Swiss Chard Frittata Directions
- Preheat convection oven to 325°F or conventional oven to 350°F. Coat bottom and sides of two 2-inch full hotel pans with cooking spray.
- Cook bacon, turning occasionally, in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towel and cut into ⅛-inch pieces.
- Rinse chard but do not dry. Trim tough stem ends and discard. Cut leaves and stems into rough 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a 16-inch skillet over low heat. Add the bacon and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the chard. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard begins to wilt, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add garlic and salt. Whisk until well combined. Stir in 2 cups cheese.
- Divide the egg mixture evenly between the prepared pans. Evenly distribute half the chard on top of the egg mixture in each pan. Sprinkle each pan with 2 Tblsp cheese.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut each pan into 24 squares.
