Ingredients

12 large eggs
200 g cheddar cheese, grated
50 g parmesan, gruyere or comte cheese, grated
100 g cavolo nero, discard inner stalk, finely sliced
10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 tbsp olive oil
sea salt
cracked black pepper

Equipment

Pre-heat the oven to 375°F, gas mark 5, 200°C (180°C fan-assisted). Line a 9 x9 square baking tin with parchment paper (you can also use a round 9x9 cake tin lined with parchment paper).
Sauté the sliced Cavolo Nero in 1 tbsp. olive oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes, lightly season with sea salt and cracked black pepper then take off the heat to cool.
Beat the eggs, and season with sea salt and white pepper, add the cheddar cheese together with half of the cooked Cavolo Nero. Mix well together, then pour into the pre lined tin. Cover the frittata with parmesan, gruyere or comte cheese over the top, then scatter over the remaining Cavolo Nero. Place the sliced baby tomatoes around the tin with the seeds exposed. Sprinkle the tops of the tomatoes with a touch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
Place in the pre heated oven on a middle shelf for 28-30 minutes, make sure the frittata is firm. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy!

Notes

LISA’S TIP – This is the perfect way to have a high protein low carb meal. If I have leftovers, it’s great the next day, either warm or cold. I find frittatas incredibly filling. I like to have two different kinds of cheese, and if you are unable to get parmesan, gruyere or comte you can just scatter another 50g of grated cheddar cheese on the top instead.
