If you had to choose would you make a pancake or an egg dish for breakfast? Well I could not choose So I made both. Yesterday I picked up some farm fresh eggs and had a Frittata in mind that I wanted to make, but when I woke up I was only thinking about an oatmeal pancake. This works out perfect, the Frittata reheats nicely so Sunday morning breakfast will be ready and waiting.
First off take a look at these eggs. These were provided by my Lovely Ladies. They have started laying their eggs again. They tend to lay less in the winter, but since it’s been so mild this year they are back up and producing.
Here’s what the ingredients look like.
Kale Frittata
Ingredients
- 6-7 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 1 cup kale
- 1/2 cup diced ham (not pictured) (it was a last-minute add-in)
- 1/4 cup grated cheese
- Nutritional yeast to shake on the top of Frittata before it goes in the oven
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Whisk 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until evenly blended; set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until the onion softens and turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the kale and the diced ham and let cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from the burner and pour in the egg mixture, add the shredded cheese and sprinkle with Nutritional yeast.
- Place the skillet into the oven and cook uncovered for 16-20 minutes or until it is golden brown and the center of the Frittata has set. Remove from the oven, and let stand 3 minutes before serving.
Ingredients:
- 1 packet instant oatmeal (any flavor)
- ½ banana , mashed
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon Swanson Organic Cinnamon
- 1⁄3 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute
Directions:
- Mix and combine all ingredients.
- Pour into non-stick skillet and when you shake the pan and the pancake moves, it’s time to flip.
- Brown on both sides

great recipes!! they both sound soo yummy…especially the pancake 🙂
Thanks! I actually crave those pancakes.
My girlfriend and I LOVE Kale! We use it often in a lot of difenreft ways. My personal favorite is for breakfast or a quick dinner with eggs and oatmeal. For a more savory rather than sweet oatmeal. And of course not to mention the health benefits of it. Kale chips are great too, but they’re so darn easy to over cook which just completely ruins them. Ilya
