Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 2 cups fresh kale, chopped (stems removed)
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Set the mixture aside.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the olive oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the chopped kale and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.
Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it covers them evenly.
If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center of the frittata is set and no longer jiggly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy!
