1poundpotatoes(about 2 medium sized potatoes) scrubbed clean and diced into small ½ inch pieces
1teaspoonssaltdivided (or more to taste)
¼lbSwiss chard(1 very small bunch) (see notes)
¼lbkale(1 very small bunch) (see notes)
8eggs
¼cupParmesan cheese
1clovegarlicfinely minced or gratted
pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F.
Prepare the Swiss chard and kale: Remove the leaves from the kale stems and discard. The stems from the Swiss chard can be used, they have a similar texture to celery, but I like to trim off the extra parts from the bottom. Chop the Swiss chard and the kale into roughly ½ inch wide strips. This is easiest to do by rolling them up tightly and then cutting.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Saute the diced and diced potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Add the chopped kale and Swiss chard, ½ teaspoon salt, and mix well. Continue stirring and cooking for about 5 minutes, until the greens are less than half of the original volume. Drain and discard extra liquid, if there is any.
Spray a round 9 inch pie dish or baking pan with cooking spray. Transfer the potato and greens mixture to the baking dish.
Prepare the egg mixture while the potatoes and greens are cooking: Crack 8 eggs into a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Whisk it all together and pour over the potato and kale/Swiss chard mixture. Gently stir everything together.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set. If the edges are browning too much but the middle is still too jiggly, reduce to heat to 325F. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
You can use only kale or only Swiss chard for this recipe. Just use a total of ½ lb of greens (about 1 small bunch of kale).The nutritional information estimated below assumes 8 slices.
