Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings (2 wedges per serving)

8 large eggs
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small red onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar (2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Separate 4 of the eggs, putting the whites into a medium sized bowl and discarding the yolks. Add the 4 whole eggs and 2 tablespoons of water to the whites and whisk well.

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR FRITTATA



Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata image

A frittata is an excellent way to sneak veggies into your family's diet, and in this recipe, the veggie is broccoli. Also, thawed, diced hash brown potatoes speed up the cook time and the prep time, too. If you want more color on top of the frittata, shorten the baking time by a couple of minutes, and use the broiler to achieve the color you want. For breakfast or brunch, fresh fruit or baby tomatoes make a great side.

Provided by Bibi

Categories     100+ Breakfast and Brunch Recipes     Eggs     Frittata Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 large eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 ½ cups chopped fresh broccoli
1 cup frozen diced hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk eggs, cream, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chopped broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Lightly season vegetables with additional salt and pepper.
  • Gently pat the vegetables into an even layer with the back of a spatula or spoon and turn off the heat. Sprinkle cheese over the vegetables, followed by bacon.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently shake to eliminate any holes around the vegetables. Let the residual heat cook the eggs slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness by using a knife to cut the center slightly. Eggs should not be runny enough to fill the cut. Allow to cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before serving.

BROCCOLI FRITTATA



Broccoli Frittata image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch broccoli
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 pound diced Italian hot sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 eggs, well beaten
1/2 cup grated Italian Fontina cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
white wine vinegar (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim all the leaves and stems from the broccoli and cut the flowerets into uniform pieces. Only the flowerets will be used for this recipe but the stems can be reserved for cooking to make a puree or stir-fried dish.
  • Steam the flowerets until crisp-tender and still bright green, refresh under cold water, drain well and coarsely chop.
  • Heat oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet. Add the sausage and saute until it begins to brown. Add onions and saute until tender. Stir in the garlic and continue to saute a moment longer. Stir in the broccoli and season this mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Season the eggs to taste with salt and pepper and pour over the ingredients in the skillet. Redistribute the broccoli and sausage evenly in the mixture if necessary. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, then, as the eggs begin set around the edges, lift the edges to allow some of the liquid egg to run into the bottom of the pan. Then cover the pan and continue to cook until the eggs have almost completely set, about 7 minutes.
  • Remove cover and sprinkle cheese over the frittata. Cover again and continue to cook just until the cheese has melted and the eggs are set but still soft on top. (Alternately, the frittata can be placed under the broiler once the cheese has been added, to glaze the top.)
  • Serve frittata directly from the pan, with a little oil and vinegar sprinkled over it, if desired.

QUICK BROCCOLI FRITTATA



Quick Broccoli Frittata image

In this nourishing frittata, frozen broccoli is used for convenience and since it is preserved at peak freshness, you'll also get the maximum nutritional benefits in each bite (a win-win!). An eight-inch skillet will yield thick, hearty slices for breakfast and the nonstick surface keeps cleanup easy.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
1 tablespoon minced garlic
10 ounces frozen broccoli florets
1/3 cup grated sharp white cheddar
Salt and pepper
5 large eggs
Sliced avocado and flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

  • In a small ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil and minced garlic over medium until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in broccoli florets; season with salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until broccoli is tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and continue to cook until liquid has evaporated, 30 seconds. Meanwhile, preheat broiler. Beat eggs with cheddar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet, and stir occasionally until large curds form and edges begin to set, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer skillet to oven and broil until eggs are puffed, golden, and just set, about 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. Serve frittata with sliced avocado, flaky sea salt, and a drizzle of oil.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pan: Use an oven-safe skillet that is at least 10 inches in diameter. This will ensure that the frittata cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be softened but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will make the frittata mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to the frittata. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the eggs: Overmixing the eggs will make the frittata tough. Just whisk them until they are combined.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Don't flip the frittata: Frittata are not like omelets. You don't need to flip them during cooking. Just cook them until the top is set and the center is cooked through.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help it to hold its shape when you cut it.

Conclusion:

Cheesy broccoli frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover vegetables, and it's also a great option for a make-ahead meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect cheesy broccoli frittata every time.
