Classic Frittata

Frittatas are one of my favorite breakfast dishes to make as they can be completely personalized to exactly what you like or what you have on hand. Here I combine bacon, onion and kale with a touch of turmeric just to give it a subtle dose of that anti-inflammatory magic. I consider this to be a classic as it is the one I make most often.

Preheat the oven to 375°. Have the already prepared bacon ready and set aside.

Sauté the veggies:
Heat an oven-safe 2-quart cast iron skillet or braiser over medium heat. Heat the oil and butter until warmed through and starting to foam. Add the onions and kale and give it a good pinch of salt. Stir occassionally for about 10 minutes until the onions are softened and the kale is thoroughly wilted.

4

Bake the frittata:
