BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR FRITTATA
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.

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.

BAKED BROCCOLI FRITTATA
This was my introduction to the concept of the frittata, from a Light Cuisine cookbook of my mother's. I have used every combination from the 6 eggs and 2 egg whites, to 4 eggs and a cup of egg substitute, to 2 cups of egg substitute, all with success (though it's a bit tastier with a real egg or two included).

BROCCOLI FRITTATA

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Set up a steamer basket in a 3-quart saucepan. Add enough water to come up to the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the basket, cover and cook until the broccoli is soft and nearly falling apart but still holds its shape, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the broccoli to a large bowl. Add the butter and gently toss; season with salt and pepper, then chop.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream, cheddar and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper; fold in the chopped broccoli.
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and coat with cooking spray. Add the egg mixture and bake in the oven until set, about 40 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes.

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.

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 broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has brown spots.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small florets. You can also blanch the broccoli for a few minutes to help preserve its color and nutrients.
- Use a variety of cheeses: This recipe calls for a combination of Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, but you can use any type of cheese that you like. Some other good options include cheddar, Gruyère, or fontina.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The frittata should be cooked until the eggs are just set, but not overcooked. Otherwise, the frittata will be dry and rubbery.
- Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature: The frittata can be served immediately after it is cooked, or it can be cooled and served at room temperature. It is also a great make-ahead meal, as it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This baked broccoli frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with protein, vegetables, and cheese, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect frittata every time.
