Ingredients
  

Kale Frittata

  • 1 small bunch kale*
  • 1 bunch green onions*
  • ¾ cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt + pepper each
  • 12 eggs*
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tbsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 pinch nutmeg optional

Horseradish Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1-2 tsp prepared horseradish
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Starting with 1 bunch kale, wash and fold each leaf in half and cut out the stem (rib) of the leaves. Chop kale into bite-size pieces. Chop the green onions, keeping white portion separate from greens.
  • Grate ¾ cup cheddar cheese.
  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large ovensafe frying pan over medium heat. Add white part of onion, salt and pepper.
  • Cook about 3 minutes or until softened, stir often. Add kale and cook until kale wilts. Turn off heat. In a bowl whisk eggs, ¼ cup milk, grated cheddar cheese, onion greens, 1 Tbsp horseradish, basil, oregano and nutmeg.
  • Pour egg mixture into the pan and stir well, spreading kale evenly. Place the frying pan in the oven and bake 15 minutes, or until puffy and center is set.
  • For the frittata’s horseradish sauce, mix 1 cup sour cream, ¼ cup milk, 1-2 tsp horseradish and ½ tsp salt in a small bowl. When frittata is done, loosen edges with a rubber spatula, slice into wedges and serve with sauce.
