Zucchini and Kale Frittata

My zucchini harvest is in full bloom which means that I cook a zucchini dish almost everyday! I added kale which gives the frittata for added texture and vitamins. This recipe makes a perfect lunch, side dish or a lite meal on your busy workdays! Enjoy!

If you love frittatas, try my Zucchini and Potato Omelet which is also deliciously savory!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

6 eggs (beaten)

2 medium zucchini (thinly sliced)

4 cups finely chopped kale

1/2 small onion

3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheese

1 teaspoon of vinegar

Preparation:

In a medium skillet, saute the kale in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for about 8 minutes, stirring often. The kale will wilt and reduce in size as you cook it. Add half of the salt and the teaspoon of vinegar and stir. Cook for another minute and set aside.

In a large skillet heat the remaining olive oil with the onion and saute for about 3-4 minutes on medium heat. Add the zucchini and saute for a few minutes until it is slightly cooked but not mushy. I like my zucchini slightly undercooked but this is up to you.

Season zucchini with salt and pepper and stir. Add the kale spreading it evenly over the zucchini. Add the eggs evenly to cover the vegetables. Let eggs cook for a few minutes releasing the sides from the pan.

Top the frittata evenly with the cottage cheese and shredded cheese. Cook at 350 degrees for about 10-12 minutes until the eggs set and are fully cooked. I flipped my frittata over to serve it to show the beautiful golden crust. Enjoy!
