Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup pesto
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced, white parts and green parts separated
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1-1/2 cups torn curly kale
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
  • Minced chives for serving
  • Shaved Parmesan for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pesto, salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch non-stick ovenproof skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the garlic and the white parts of the scallions until they are translucent and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Sauté the tomatoes for 3 minutes until they get juicy and start to wrinkle. Add the kale and continue cooking letting the greens wilt, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the egg mixture. Wait for the eggs to start to set at the edges, about 2-4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until just set in the middle.
  • Top the frittata with the green scallions, chives and Parmesan before serving.
