Yvette Dizon Hunter's Testing Notes:

SpinachTiger's kale-stuffed frittata is studded with the surprising (and perfectly salty) addition of pimento-packed olives. Baking the frittata in a baking dish or cake pan (I used a 9-inch one) ensures that it looks great sitting at the table and makes slicing a breeze. Note: Adjust the amount of kale according to the size of your bunch. For me, half a large bunch of kale yielded 8 cups raw, which made for the perfect proportion of eggs to greens.

Kale and Spanish olives bring an interesting flavor and texture to a frittata. This is baked in the oven for twenty minutes in a baking pan. I prefer kale to spinach because it holds up in texture, but just be sure to cut out the ribs.
