Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- 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.
- 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.
- To sausage, add chard leaves and saute until leaves are wilted, ~3 minutes.
- Pour eggs over sausage and stir to combine ingredients.
- Bake frittata 20 to 25 minutes. (Frittata is done when eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.)
- Just before serving, toss greens with olives and pecans. Add vinaigrette until dressed to your liking.
- Slice frittata and serve with salad on the side.
