Ingredients
Quinoa
- ½ cup quinoa
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- Pinch salt
Onions
- 1 yellow onion large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 cups chard shredded
Frittata
- 6 egg large
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine quinoa, vegetable broth, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 12 to 13 minutes. After that time, remove the pan from the heat and let steam until ready to use. Alternatively, use about 1 cup leftover quinoa if you have that available.
- To make onions, cut into ⅛” thick half circles. Heat over low the olive oil in a skillet. Place sliced onions in skillet and cook until they begin to brown, 10-15 minutes. Once onions are cooked, stir in balsamic vinegar and continue to cook until vinegar reduces down, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chard and continue to cook until wilted, another 5 minutes or so.
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. While the onions are cooking, combine the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk well to combine.
- When the chard is cooked down, add in the quinoa and pour the eggs over the mixture and stir. Let cook for a couple minutes, just to let the bottom set. Sprinkle with the feta
- Transfer the frittata to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The frittata should be puffed and browning.
Notes
- Prep ahead: Precook the quinoa and onions ahead of time. Then day-of, cook the chard and add the onions/quinoa before adding the egg mixture.
