Its been a green week.....loads of frozen kale and swiss chard to use in various recipes. Tonight the frittata was a welcome meal. Didn't have green onion so we subbed in chives and cooked everything in the fry pan.

I made these with spinach (in place of the swiss chard), 1/2 t. salt and 1/8 t. cayenne pepper with excellent results for a "tea themed" baby shower. I'll be making these again, they're very flavorful.

YUMMY!!!!!!!! So perfect as the swiss chard is popped up and growing fine at the cottage. At home the rabbits enjoyed it :-(.<br/>I made this for breakfast for company and they all thought it was stupendous. Great flavors, easy to do in a toaster oven, too hot for the regular oven. This surely will be made all year long. I did reduce th cayenne to half for personal tastes, perfect that way for us. Thank you so much! Made for All You Could Cook Buffet, Special Event. 2011
