Swiss Chard and Sausage Frittata

This recipe was a great find! We’ve been eating up lots of chard lately (yum!) since it comes quite frequently in our CSA delivery. While we do have a few good stand-by recipes that never fail, I’m still always on the lookout for new ways to shake things up a bit in the kitchen.

A friend of mine gave me this recipe and it came out so well. We had it for dinner but the leftovers made a delicious breakfast. Honestly, you could combine just about anything with either bacon or Italian sausage and how could it NOT be good? It makes everything fun!

Chard is a-wilting! With sausage. Yummm.

Frittata is DONE! Love the pretty colors.

Out of the oven and onto my plate. The way life should be.
