Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. Toss cauliflower with cooking oil and some salt and pepper. Spread out on a sheet pan. Transfer to oven and roast, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until very tender and golden brown in spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
  3. While cauliflower roasts, heat an oven-safe 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and saute until crisp, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate.
  4. Drain off all but 1 Tbsp / 15 mL of bacon grease from the pan. Return pan to heat. Add chard stems and saute until tender, ~4 minutes. Add garlic and chard leaves and saute until leaves are fully wilted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  5. Pour in eggs and stir until ingredients are all mixed through. Sprinkle bacon over top of frittata.
  6. Transfer frittata to the oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until eggs are set and inserted knife comes out cleanly.
  7. Slice frittata. Serve with cauliflower and spicy mayo for dipping (remember to reserve half the spicy mayo for Tuesday’s meal).
