Chard and Salami Frittata

This vibrant chard and salami frittata offers a sophisticated twist on a classic egg dish, blending the earthy flavour of Swiss chard with the savoury, peppery notes of Italian salami. As a diabetes-friendly option, it provides a high-protein, low-carbohydrate meal that does not compromise on taste. The combination of salty Pecorino cheese and softened onions creates a rich foundation, while a quick finish under the grill ensures a perfectly set, golden topping.

Ideal for a light lunch or a quick midweek supper, this versatile recipe works equally well served warm from the pan or at room temperature. The inclusion of leafy greens makes it a nutritious choice for those seeking a balanced, packable meal. Pair a slice with a crisp green salad or roasted vine tomatoes for a complete and satisfying Mediterranean-inspired feast.

How to make Chard and Salami Frittata

Preheat grill. Whisk all the eggs, 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in large bowl.

Heat olive oil in medium nonstick broilerproof skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until tender but not brown, about 6 minutes. Add Swiss chard in 3 batches; toss until each begins to wilt before adding next. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté until any liquid in skillet evaporates. Increase heat to mediumhigh; add salami and garlic to skillet and stir 1 minute. Add eggs to skillet; stir to distribute evenly. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until eggs are almost set but still moist in centre, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese over top.

Transfer frittata to grill and cook just until set in centre and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Using flexible spatula, loosen frittata around edges. Slide frittata out onto platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
