Ingredients
2
cups
fresh broccoli florets
6
large eggs
1
cup
shredded cheese
cheddar or mozzarella
1
medium onion
finely chopped
2
tablespoons
olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook until they're tender-crisp.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper together.
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and onion in the skillet, making sure it spreads evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into wedges and serving.
Notes
Make sure to cook the broccoli until it is just tender, but not too soft, to prevent it from becoming mushy in the frittata.
Beat the eggs well, which helps incorporate air and results in a lighter, fluffier texture.
When adding the egg mixture to the pan, ensure the heat is low to allow the frittata to cook slowly and evenly.
Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will make it easier to cut and serve.
Frittatas are incredibly flexible dishes. Feel free to add in other ingredients like bell peppers, mushrooms, or ham for added flavor.
