I made this garlicky kale, onion, tomato baked frittata with bacon and parmesan recipe for breakfast with some leftover ingredients in my refrigerator. I loved the combination of the garlicky flavor of the kale and onion sauté, the sweet tomatoes, and the salty bacon. My husband and I loved these mini baked frittatas and devoured them in minutes. A perfect way to start the day and a great way to use up those leftovers in the refrigerator.

How to Make a Garlicky Kale, Onion, Tomato Baked Frittata with Bacon and Parmesan

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat two mini baking dishes with cooking spray or butter.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain.

Either remove all but 2 teaspoons of the bacon grease from the large skillet (or use olive oil) over medium-high heat. Add the kale and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes, or until softened.

Add cherry tomatoes to the large skillet, then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.  Remove from the heat.

Whisk together the eggs and milk until very well combined. Season them with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.

Sprinkle the bottom of the mini baking dishes with half of the kale & tomato mixture, then top with some bacon crumbles and Parmesan shavings.

Add the egg mixture, then sprinkle the top with the remaining kale & tomato mixture, bacon, and Parmesan shavings.

Place into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cooked.

Remove from the oven and serve immediately. Enjoy.
