What's for Dinner: Kale Frittata and Baked Tomatoes

Here's a little frittata number I whipped up the other night for dinner:

Here's the recipe:

-1 bunch kale
-1 medium-sized white or green onion
-4 chicken apple sausages (look for the brand, "Aidells" in the meat section of your local market)
-1 cup feta cheese
-olive oil
-8 eggs
-1/2 cup milk
-garlic salt
-salt
-pepper
-cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 325 F.

In a pan coated with olive oil, saute the kale. Dice up the onions and the sausage and add to the kale once it has started to wilt and reduce down in size. Stop sauteing when the onions look translucent and/or when the sausage is browned on the outside.

Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the sausage-kale-onion mixture as well as the feta cheese. Add garlic salt, salt, and pepper. Mix it all up with a whisk.

Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8x2 oven-safe pan (or a pan of similar dimensions). Put it in the oven for about 40-55 minutes, or until the center of the frittata has solidified.

Fun to make, delicious to eat, and makes for great leftovers!

Now for the side-dish... baked tomatoes!


Here's how:

Cut tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Place them on a baking sheet (I lined mine in aluminum foil for easy clean-up) and give em a generous drizzle of olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of minced garlic on each one and season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Finish them off with some parmesan cheese and throw them in the oven (400 F) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese starts looking toasted. These are great a la carte, but they're also pretty delicious on a piece of toasted bread. If you'd like, doll them up a little bit with basil, oregano, and/or bread crumbs!

Try it! You'll like it!
