Tips
  • These mini skillets are amazing. They are great for a brunch date, hot dessert, or date night in. It's worth the tiny investment to have them on hand.
  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F. Lightly coat the mini cast iron skillets with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a small or medium saucepan, fill with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add in the Swiss chard leaves. Stir, allowing all of the leaves to get cooked evenly. Cook for 5-7 minutes until chard turns brighter green color. In the sink, drain into a colander and immediately run under cold water, stopping the cooking process. Squeeze out the chard and roughly chop into small pieces. Set aside.
  3. Clean and cut up the leek and the red pepper.
  4. In a medium skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil or butter. Add in the leek and sauté on low heat, for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so it doesn’t brown. Add in the red pepper, stir, and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. Optional: If you want to add meat, do it at this time.
  5. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and ricotta cheese. Add in the chopped Swiss chard. Once the leek mixture has cooled, add into the eggs and mix to combine thoroughly. Add the cheddar cheese. Pour into the mini cast iron skillets. Top with the mozzarella cheese.
  7. Place in oven and cook for 25 until the egg has set (doesn’t jiggle around when you move it) and the cheese is nice and crisped on top.
  8. Serve immediately or at room temperature. You can serve straight from the cast iron skillets or pop out of the skillet and serve on plates. .
