Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1 garlic clove, halved
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
5 ounces baby arugula (7 cups packed)
6 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 pound Fontina, rind discarded and cheese cut into 1/2-inch cubes

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler.

    Step 2

    Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic and add arugula, then cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until combined, then pour over arugula in skillet and cook, undisturbed, over moderate heat until almost set, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Tips

    Step 4

    Add in diced potatoes and ham for a more filling option, and serve it hot or cold.

  3. Step 5

    Eggs should be beaten vigorously for frittatas to create more air for the filling.
