Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces cooked chicken breast
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups broccoli florets (chopped)
1 large red bell pepper (or orange, diced)
3 green onions (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 large eggs
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (freshly grated )

Steps:

  • Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  • If your chicken is not yet cooked: Cook and shred chicken.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and peppers and sauté until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add cheese, chicken, and the vegetables from the skillet. Stir to combine, then pour into the prepared pie dish.
  • Bake 40 minutes, until the center is nearly set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let sit 5 minutes then serve warm or at room temperature. The frittata will puff while baking, then settle a bit as it cools.

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.

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.

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings (2 wedges per serving)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.
  • In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet heat the oil over a medium flame. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the broccoli and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and a few turns of pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet covering them evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let cook until the egg mixture has set around the edges but is somewhat liquid in the middle, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Place the skillet under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat until the surface is set and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or the egg mixture will become tough.
  • Cut the frittata into 8 wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Fresh broccoli florets give the frittata a vibrant green color and a slightly crunchy texture. You can also use frozen broccoli, but be sure to thaw and drain it completely before using.
  • Grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the frittata. You can use any type of hard cheese that you like, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Gruyère.
  • Eggs are the main ingredient in a frittata. Use large eggs for the best results. If you only have medium eggs, you can use 4 eggs instead of 3.
  • Milk or cream adds moisture and richness to the frittata. You can use any type of milk or cream that you like, including skim milk, whole milk, or heavy cream.
  • Season the frittata with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as Italian seasoning, oregano, or paprika.
  • Cook the frittata in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent the frittata from sticking to the pan.
  • Cover the frittata with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of cooking. This will help to prevent the top of the frittata from getting too brown.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to set the frittata and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Broccoli frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

It is a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it is also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
