When I was a kid, it was a treat to have breakfast for dinner, so every so often I make a frittata or omelet to bring back those happy memories.

My mom would make french toast, waffles, or scrambled eggs, and us kids would be in heaven. Mom worked full time in those days, so I'm sure it was her way of putting an easy dinner on the table.

Things haven't changed for me. Life is busy, and I still think breakfast for dinner is a treat. Frittata recipes are a favorite, especially when they include healthy veggies and creamy Swiss cheese.

Happy, healthy cooking!

What's good for me in this dish?

Eggs provide tryptophan, selenium, iodine, vitamins B2 and B12, and protein. Eating eggs promotes eye health. They can also contribute to the prevention of strokes and heart attacks. Free range, or cage free eggs are considered to be higher in quality nutrients such as all nine essential amino acids, and are less likely to contribute to high cholesterol levels.

Kale is very high in vitamins K, A, C, manganese and fiber. Vitamin A promotes vision and lung health. Vitamin C reduces the severity of inflammatory conditions such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Kale's sulfur-containing phytonutrients can help prevent some cancers.
