Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 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)

Directions

Separate 4 of the eggs, putting the whites into a medium sized bowl and discarding the yolks (or saving them for another purpose). Add the remaining 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.

    Easy and Good!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a great, quick breakfast dish! I agree about adding additional pepper, salt and garlic/garlic salt. I'm always... trying to find ways to sneak in vegetables (especially for my husband, since he wouldn't eat any if I weren't around!) and both of us loved it. Read more

    GREAT side dish

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this last night for me and the hubby. I cut the recipe in half since it was just the two of us. I also noted the... advice of others and added an extra touch of garlic salt, kosher salt and pepper. We just loved this dish! Very easy to make and it looks so pretty coming out of the oven. Went great with a small grilled steak and a layered salad. I'll make this one again for sure. I think bell peppers added would be great as well. I got by with only using one broccoli floret, steamed and chopped. This is a wonderful and healthy dish! My husband went back to the kitchen for the leftovers!Read more

    Great recipe, make it again and again. Try some variations too (I put tomatoes on the top right before I slip it under the... broiler).Read more

    Very good.

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I heeded the other reviewer's warnings of blandness, so I seasoned generously throughout (garlic, pepper, curry, some salt)... and it turned out fantastic! Simple to make and it tastes wonderful with capers. I'll definitely be making this again.Read more

    Good flavor, good meal

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I made this for a friend who wanted something low-carb. We both really liked it. It had good flavor with the onion and... cheese, and I didn't miss anything by using egg whites. Will definitely make again.Read more

    Missing something

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    The frittata was okay, but it seemed like it was missing something. Oh yeah -- flavor! If I make this again, I'll add ham.
