Start your day on a delicious note with our Chard and Salami Frittata, a delightful dish that brings together the robust flavors of Italian salami and the earthy goodness of Swiss chard. Perfect for a morning meal, brunch, or even a sophisticated antipasti, this frittata is not only gluten-free but also a feast for the senses.

Imagine the savory aroma of sautéed onions mingling with the minced garlic, creating a base that tantalizes your taste buds even before the first bite.

With each forkful, you’ll enjoy the creamy texture complemented by the salty tang of Pecorino Romano cheese.
