Beet Green Frittata

Beet Greens

This can be made with any kinds of cheese.  I have suggestions here but you could switch it up and it will still be amazing!

  • 8 slices thick bacon, cut into 1" peices
  • 1/4 sliced onion or green onion
  • 1 bunch beet greens, rinsed well and chopped, including the little beets
  • 2 garlic scapes minced, or garlic cloves to taste
  • 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • fresh basil, chopped or other fresh herb or favorite dried herb(s)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 eggs, beaten

Cook the bacon in an oven safe skillet until crisp.  Remove bacon from skillet.  Remove fat from skillet, but retain.  Wipe out skillet if it has stuck parts.  Add back 1 TBSP bacon fat, or as needed, and add onion, beet greens, and garlic scapes.  Saute on medium until softening, stirring.  Add bacon back into skillet.  Add cheeses, salt and pepper, and any herbs you want.  Add eggs and stir to combine everything.  Cover and cook on low until starting to set.  Remove lid, put under broiler for approx. 3 min to brown top.  Serve hot or room temperature.  Yum!
