Ingredients

• 8 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 2 cups fresh kale, chopped (stems removed)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.25 cups shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Set the mixture aside.

Step 3

Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Once the olive oil is hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Stir in the chopped kale and continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender.

Step 7

Spread the cooked vegetables evenly across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it covers them evenly.

Step 8

If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the egg mixture.

Step 9

Cook the frittata on the stovetop over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the center of the frittata is set and no longer jiggly.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy!
