Broccoli and Cheese Frittata

When sauteed veggies meet scrambled eggs, they become a party in a pan. Frittata anyone? 😉

Yes, eggs are a scientific wonder and we can make lots of fantastic, complicated recipes with them but they can also be quite simplistic. Today’s feature is just that.

This easy, yet delicious Italian version of an omelet is the perfect way to dress up your morning breakfast, add spunk to your brunch and get some veggies in. You can make it with anything you like.

Saute some veggies in a skillet and perhaps some onion and garlic with a little butter for richness.

Whisk your eggs with some milk, cream or just by themselves and add your favorite cheeses.

Add the eggs to the pan and let it slowly set on low heat.

Once the eggs set and become crispy around the edges, pop the pan in the oven under the broiler to brown the top and melt the cheeses.

When finished, you’ve got a golden brown, good-for-you helping of flavorful, fluffy, veg infused pan of deliciousness.

It really is that simple. There isn’t a whole lot of fuss to the dish but it’ll taste like it.

Making a frittata is a fantastic way to use up those veggies in your fridge, too. That little bit of butter and some of the melted cheese in the bottom of the pan give it just the right amount of toasty-ness that will have you coming back for a second slice.

If you’ve got a combination in mind, get creative and get your cook on. I’d love to hear about it! You know where to find me friends.

I do hope you’ll give this easy dish a try. Make it a great day and as always, keep it delicious!

Till next time ~ much love, Connie
