Today of all days, I was especially grateful for the simple fact that if I had a little bit of this (kale & tomatoes) and a little bit of that (a few slices of ham) to throw into my breakfast frittata. The thing I love about a frittatas is you can quickly whip up a frittata for breakfast using your favorite mix of veggies, meats, and cheeses.

- In a separate bowl mix eggs until well blended.
- Pour egg mixture into cast iron skillet and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes until you see the edges are cooking.
- Transfer cast iron skillet into a 375 degree oven and finish cooking.
- Cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until the top of the frittata is lightly golden brown.
- Remove cast iron skillet from oven and gently loosen frittata edges with a spatula from the pan. Slice evenly, and transfer sliced frittata into individual serving plates.
- Serve immediately.
- I recommend removing the big chewy stems from the kale before you chop it.
This is a great gluten-free breakfast or brunch option. It is low in sugar and a good go-to low carb meal. Frittatas are a great way to use up any leftovers. Just chop em up and throw them in!

Frittata” is a recipe based on an Italian dish which translates to “egg-cake”. In my personal opinion, it is basically a crust-less quiche minus the added milk. Frittatas are a great way to use leftover vegetables. >br> “Ham and Veggie Breakfast Frittata – a cast iron recipe”

I also love the fact that you can easily microwave the leftover frittata for lunch the following day. Serve it with a side salad and you have a perfect balanced meal.
