Make

  1. Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
  2. Heat a 10.5” to 12” (26 cm to 30 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add pecans and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 3 to 4 minutes. Set aside. Return pan to heat.
  3. To heated pan, add cooking oil and then chard stems and sausage. Cook, breaking sausage apart until browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain any excess oil out of the pan and return pan to heat.
  4. To sausage, add chard leaves and saute until leaves are wilted, ~3 minutes.
  5. Pour eggs over sausage and stir to combine ingredients.
  6. Bake frittata 20 to 25 minutes. (Frittata is done when eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.)
  7. Just before serving, toss greens with olives and pecans. Add vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
  8. Slice frittata and serve with salad on the side.
