Ingredients:

• 1 bunch Swiss chard, stems removed and leaves chopped
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk or cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan or feta cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped Swiss chard and cook until it wilts and any excess moisture evaporates, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk or cream until well combined. Stir in the Parmesan or feta cheese, and season with a little more salt and pepper.
4. Combine and Cook: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 3-4 minutes, until the edges start to set.
5. Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. You can test it by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
6. Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
