Frittatas are a traditional Italian egg dish, prepared in a skillet and served mainly for lunch or dinner-in Italy, that is. This kale feta frittata can be put together in minutes-all you need are some eggs, kale, and feta, or any vegetable or cheese you have on hand for that matter to prepare this light yet satisfying meal. In North America, frittatas have found their way onto breakfast, brunch, and lunch tables and are also an ideal breakfast-for-dinner option for the family-which happens to make them an ideal, anytime meal.

Let’s talk dinnertime, moms. There’s quite a lot of pressure on family dinners, don’t you think? An ideal dinner can neither be stressful nor time-consuming (hence the mass appeal of the 30-minute meal). In order for dinner prep to be stress-free, recipes must be quick, easy, and require few ingredients to prepare-oh, and they should be healthy too. That’s a lot for one mealtime to handle. You’ll be happy to know that this kale feta frittata is a quick, healthy meal that passes the stress-free dinnertime test with flying colours.

In my home, frittatas are actually reserved for busy weeknight dinners. Although I would love to convince you that I have a meal plan in mind, the minute the day starts, every single day, I’ll admit that more often than not, I’m winging it, just like many of you are. On particularly busy evenings, dinner is usually the result of me resorting to grabbing random ingredients from the fridge. And, since the fridge is almost always stocked with eggs and some type of leafy green, frittatas have unanimously become my quick and easy dinner of choice.

Sometimes I keep the frittata simple, adding only sautéed onions and potatoes, and other times I add leftover pasta to a pastasciutta frittata. The kids love my mini Tex-Mex frittatas since they’re easy to prepare and they also get to personalize them. In the summer, I often prepare a zucchini blossom frittata, since the zucchini grow like weeds in our garden! Frittatas are great for packed lunches since they hold together well and taste delicious at any temperature. And they’re so versatile! Don’t have any kale on hand? Add another leafy green, or chop up some broccoli, potatoes, or zucchini. The same goes for the cheese-bocconcini mozzarella, Parmesan, and goat cheese are also frittatas’ best friends.
