Arugula and Fontina Frittata
1 garlic clove, halved
1/2 sweet onion, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
7 cups packed arugula, washed and dried
6 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
1/4 lb Fontina cheese, sharp cheddar, or pepper jack - cut into 1/2" cubes
Preheat broiler (an optional step - read below). Cook garlic and onion in olive oil in a 10" ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally until golden. Add arugula and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk together eggs, salt and pepper and pour over arugula in skillet and cook without disturbing over moderate heat until almost set, 5-6 minutes. Add cheese evenly and broil 4-5" from the broiler flame until eggs are just set and the cheese is melted, 1-2 minutes. If you don't want to turn on the broiler, cover the fritatta for the first 6 minutes and then finish uncovered until the eggs are set.
