A Big Vegetable, Cheese, Egg Frittata

5-8oz. kale leaves

Some people I'm close to are sanding the hardwood floors in the home they'll move into soon.  I think bringing them brunch and snacks for later would be appreciated, so. . .It's Frittata Time!  In a small pan, put the torn kale into a small pan containing a little well salted water and steam, covered, 10 minutes or so.  Turn off the heat and let stand a while.  Chop the tomatoes into a small bowl and set aside.

Chop, slice, or cube the vegetables shown, into a big bowl.  Season with salt, pepper and chili-lime seasoning.  Drizzle ½ stick melted butter over all, toss well.  Put the vegetables on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet with sides.  It's better to split this with half on each of two large sheets.  I only used one and the vegetables ended up more steamed than roasted.  Roast until sizzling and cook about them about half way to being done, at 400°.  Put them, and the drained, dried kale and tomatoes, into buttered baking pans.

2T corn flour
1t baking soda
1t baking powder


1 dozen large eggs
1c half and half
1c farmer's cheese*

In a medium, bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together then drizzle in ¼c half and half, whisking quickly to keep lumps from forming.  Beat or whisk the room temperature eggs, remaining half and half and the crumbled farmer's cheese.  *You could use ricotta or small curd cottage cheese if you can't find farmer's cheese.  Pour over the vegetables and top with 1c of a good quality, strong flavored, grated cheese.   Bake at 350° for about a half hour, until the eggs are set. . .Lin
