Steps:
- Tomatoes: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a 9-inch pie plate, place tomatoes and garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, thyme, light-brown sugar, and salt. Drizzle over tomatoes and garlic and bake in the oven until tomatoes are wilted and caramelized, 40 to 45 minutes. Set aside.
- Frittata: Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees, with the rack in the upper third of the oven. Lightly beat eggs in a large bowl with a whisk. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
- In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the stems of the chard; cook until tender, 3 minutes. Add the chard leaves and stir to combine. Cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof spatula to gently stir and push eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs begin to set, about 2 minutes.
- Scatter cooked tomatoes on top of the frittata and evenly distribute feta cheese on top. Transfer frittata to oven and cook until top is set and has puffed slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Gently run a spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of the pan onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler with rack in top third. Heat 1 tablespoon oil and garlic in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium. When fragrant, add chard stems and leaves. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until just tender, 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper until well combined. Stir in rye berries, chard leaves and stems, and all but 1 tablespoon combined chopped herbs and scallions.
- Return skillet to medium-high heat; add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are just beginning to set, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, dollop with ricotta, and transfer to oven. Broil until eggs are puffed, just set, and beginning to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with remaining chopped herbs and scallions, and serve warm or room temperature.
Tips:
- Prep your Swiss chard: Before using, wash and thoroughly dry the Swiss chard leaves to prevent excess water from diluting the egg mixture.
- Wilt the Swiss chard: Wilting the Swiss chard removes excess moisture and intensifies its flavor. Cook it over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this frittata, so use a variety that you enjoy the flavor of. Grated Parmesan, Gruyère, or a blend of your favorites will work well.
- Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata should be cooked until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown, but be careful not to overcook it or it will become dry. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes in the oven.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help it hold together better when you cut it.
Conclusion:
With its vibrant colors and a combination of textures, the Swiss chard frittata is a delicious and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The Swiss chard provides a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals, while the eggs and cheese add protein and richness.
