Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • 1 small onion, sliced

  • 2 cups small cauliflower florets

  • ¼ cup water

  • 5 cups chopped kale

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

  • ½ teaspoon salt, divided

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, divided

  • 8 large eggs

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • ½ cup crumbled goat cheese or shredded Manchego cheese

Directions

  1. Position a rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler to high.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Add cauliflower and water. Cover and cook until just tender, about 6 minutes. Add kale, garlic, thyme and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Whisk eggs, paprika and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the vegetables to the egg mixture; gently stir to combine. Wipe the pan clean; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and top with cheese. Cover and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

  4. Transfer the pan to the oven and broil until the top of the frittata is just cooked, 2 to 3 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
