Butternut Squash, Bacon, Kale & Goat Cheese Frittata

The original recipe calls for Butternut Squash so I have typed it out that way, however I have substituted with roasted sweet potatoes numerous times and I like it much better with sweet potato! You do you.



INGREDIENTS

5 slices bacon, diced

1 shallot, sliced

4 cups (loosely packed) raw kale, hard stems removed

2 cups cooked and cubed butternut squash (leftover roasted is ideal, or even cubed up roasted sweet potato instead, its more firm)

8 eggs

3/4 teaspoon salt

black pepper to taste

4 oz goat cheese


INSTRUCTIONS


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.


Place the bacon in a cold, heavy bottomed, oven safe pan (cast iron is ideal), and bring up to medium heat. Render the bacon until it's just beginning to crisp, abut 5 minutes. Add the shallot to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, until its translucent and just starting to brown. Add the kale to the pan with a splash of water, and toss it around for a few minutes, then throw a lid on the pan and let it steam for 2-3 minutes, or until tender. Remove the lid and add the cooked squash, then toss around until it's warmed through.


Crack the eggs into a medium bowl, add the salt and pepper, and whisk until thoroughly combined. Pour the eggs over the vegetables and use a rubber spatula to spread them out evenly. Crumble the goat cheese over the top, then place the pan in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until puffed up and golden on the outside. The inside should be totally set. If it's still runny, place back in the oven for a few minutes more.


Allow the frittata to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
