Spiced Chickpeas and Greens Frittata
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped tender herbs (such as basil, cilantro, and/or parsley)
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
  • 4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 (15.5-oz.) cans chickpeas, rinsed,patted dry
  • 2 tsp. medium curry powder
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, 5 thinly sliced, 1 whole
  • 1 small bunch hardy greens (such as mustard, kale, or Swiss chard), ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into 2" pieces
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk eggs, herbs, sour cream, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp. salt in a bowl until no streaks remain.
  2. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium cast-iron or ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chickpeas and curry powder and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Transfer 1 cup chickpeas to a bowl; set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add onion, sliced garlic, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to chickpeas in skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and starting to brown, 7–9 minutes.
  4. Add a handful of greens and 2 Tbsp. water and cook until slightly wilted. Continue adding greens a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more, until all greens are wilted, about 5 minutes total; season with salt. Let cool 3 minutes.
  5. Return pan to medium-low, pour in egg mixture, and cook, stirring eggs and swirling pan often, until edges are just set (texture should be like a very soft scramble), about 6 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake frittata until puffed slightly and center is barely set, 10–15 minutes. Let cool 5–10 minutes.
  6. Place mayonnaise in a small bowl and grate in remaining garlic clove; mix well. Season with salt.
  7. Serve frittata with garlic mayo and reserved chickpeas.
