Broccoli and Cheddar Frittata

By oldbklady

Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped(about 1 cup)
• 2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar (2 ounces)

Preparation

Step 1

Put the eggs into a medium sized bowl. Add 2 tablespoons, 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.
