Ingredients

  • 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)

Directions

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.

    We all loved it! I used egg whites substitute ( 24 tablespoons= 8 whites) and 1 cup off egg beaters (1/4 cup = 1 yolk).... It was just perfect and delicious. Thanks!!!Read more

    Missing something

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    Tastes fine, but I felt like it was missing something, maybe some meat like ham or turkey sausage. Still pretty filling... though.Read more

    The heathen child loved it

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    My son is not extremely picky, but like most kids he has an aversion to green. It's ok for coloring or goop, but he doesn't... want it on his plate. I showed him the picture of it on the website and we decided to make it. We went shopping for the ingredients and prepared the dish together. He loved it! The recipe is definitely simple enough to let children help and it tasted great.Read more

    This was amazing... Quick easy and flavorful...

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I made this a couple of days ago and aside from adding a little chopped bacon to the top kept everything the same and it was... wonderful... Great texture with the steamed broccoli and the chewiness of the broiled cheese. Thanks Ellie!Read more
