SHEET-PAN FRITTATA

SERVES 8 TO 10

40 MIN

Unsalted butter, softened, for pan

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

3 cups small broccoli florets (about 8 oz.)

Kosher salt

1 large shallot, thinly sliced

12 garlic cloves, smashed, peeled

5 oz. baby kale

10 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

2/3 cup heavy cream

1 oz. Pecorino Romano, finely grated (about 1/2 cup)

Freshly ground black pepper

8 oz. farmer cheese or part-skim ricotta (about 1 cup)

2 tsp. chili crisp

1. Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. Grease an 18" x 13" baking sheet with butter.

Add shallot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is softened, about 5 minutes. Add kale and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 1 minute more. Let cool slightly.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, and Pecorino Romano; season with salt and pepper.

4. Transfer vegetable mixture to prepared sheet; spread in an even layer. Pour egg mixture over, making sure all corners are covered. Dollop farmer cheese on top and drizzle chili crisp over.
