How to Make Broccoli And Cheddar Frittata

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large whole eggs, 2 large egg whites, and 2 tablespoons of water until light and frothy.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add 2 cups of chopped broccoli florets and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  6. Season the vegetables with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet.
  8. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the edges are set and the center is mostly set but still slightly wet, about 8-10 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Place the skillet under the preheated broiler, about 2 inches from the heat source. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  11. Let the frittata cool slightly before cutting into 8 wedges.
  12. Serve warm and enjoy! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.
