SKILLET FRITTATA WITH SWISS CHARD, LIGHT AND TASTY:
A quick second course, or an appetizer, economical but very tasty and pleasant. In this early autumn period, I crave frittata, and I decided to prepare them in all versions. This one is in a skillet, but nothing prevents you from baking it if you want to eat lighter. I used swiss chard, but you can add any vegetables you have left at home. I eat it like a sandwich, between two slices of rustic bread, a delight. Let’s proceed with the preparation and enjoy your meal.

Preparation of skillet frittata with swiss chard
We start by washing the swiss chard, drying them well with a cloth, then cut them into coarse pieces with a knife. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet , add the swiss chard, salt, stir well, then put a lid and cook for about 10 minutes.
Once cooked, remove from heat, let cool, and drain well using a strainer, to remove all the remaining water. Set aside
Let’s prepare the frittata, in a bowl put the eggs, salt, yogurt, cheese, a pinch of pepper. Beat with a whisk, until you get a soft and creamy mixture. Add the swiss chard, heat a drizzle of oil and pour in the frittata, put a lid, and cook for about 8 minutes over medium heat.
Then place a plate over the skillet, or a lid, flip the skillet onto the plate, put it back on the heat and slide the frittata back into the skillet, so that the opposite side cooks as well. Let cook 3/4 minutes, without the lid, remove from heat and serve.
