Kale & Potato & Blue Cheese Frittata - Saturday Brunch



It has been a while since I made a Saturday Frittata.
Today I share this delicious Frittata recipe that is very easy to make. 

Ingredients: 

6 eggs
5 small to medium potatoes 
1 shallot
3 kale leafs
1 heaping Tablespoon of Blue Cheese 
1 heaping Tablespoon of parmesan
1 Tablespoon of Green tomatillo salsa
2 Tablespoon of olive oil 
2 Tablespoons of chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon of salt 
Pepper to taste 

Directions 
I like to boil the potatoes first, cool them, peel the skins, and cut them into cubes. It helps to do this the night before, especially if you wake up hungry. 
Use an iron skillet (I highly recommend the investment because it makes all your food taste divine not to mention the even heating it provides). Using one Tablespoon of olive oil, saute the chopped shallots on medium heat till they are translucent. Place them on a plate to the side. Next, chop the 3 kale leaves into bite sizes. Add 2 Tablespoons of chicken broth and lightly steam the kale with the lid on. Set the kale on a plate to the side. 
In a bowl, whisk the 6 eggs with salt. 

Turn the oven Grill on and set the oven shelf to the top level. 

Add more olive oil to the iron skillet and brown the potato cubes on medium heat. When the potatoes are golden brown on the edges, add the whisked eggs, shallot, kale, green salsa, blue cheese crumbles (I like Point Reyes but a French one will work), and finally the parmesan. Cook for a few minutes till you lift the frittata and it's cooked on the bottom.  You can check it by lifting it with a butter knife. 
Lastly, place the iron skillet on the top shelf of the oven for 5 minutes to cook the top. 
It should look this delicious when done and the egg is cooked through.

 Enjoy this Frittata that serves up to 4 people when quartered. 
Wishing you a lovely Saturday morning with family and friends.

Happy New Year's brunch Idea

 


    Happy New Year 2024! 

Dragon year is starting on Feb 10 and should bring lots of good luck and success in all your endeavors.

Be gentle on yourself to fulfill all your New Year resolutions in the first month. Take it nice and easy. Persistence is key to reaching any goal. 

This includes making special meals for your family. 

This little brunch idea started out with leftover sushi rice and turned out quite festive in the end.

The Christmas dishes help of course to make it picture perfect. 

Using an iron skillet (because it gives the food the best flavor) I sauteed some asparagus in chicken broth and then tossed them in pesto sauce from the previous night. 
I warmed a previously boiled potato in the iron skillet on the side as well.

I plated these on warmed plates. 

Then I fried an egg for myself and two for the hubby. 

Adding some raspberries really gave this plate extra cheer! 

I was drinking chai tea, but coffee or a cocktail would have also paired well. 

Wishing you much wellness, creativity, and happy meal-making in 2024!
