  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt (to taste)

  3. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and enjoy.
Serves about 6 - 8

Broccoli Frittata



I was just dying to try my hand at one of these: introducing my broccoli frittata with a bit of ham and lots of cheese, of course. This was super easy! So easy; in fact, your kids could make this. As for the taste - not bad, not bad at all.




Here’s how I made my frittata:

Ingredients:
  • 6 medium eggs
  • 1 cup cooked broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup cooked diced ham
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ green pepper (diced)
  • ½ onion (diced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:
  1. Add about 2 tbsp of olive oil to a skillet and sauté green pepper and onion over medium-low heat.
  2. In the meantime, break eggs in a medium bowl, add salt & pepper. Beat lightly (do not over beat).
  3. Add cream, parmesan and cheddar cheese and mix.
  4. Add in the sautéed vegetables along with broccoli and ham. Combine well.
  5. Pour mixture in a lightly greased standard pie pan.
  6. Bake until the entire frittata is firm/set. (Normally, once the middle is done, then you’re good to go).


Remember, when you’re dealing with eggs, you want to ensure that it is cooked thoroughly before consuming. Enjoy y’all
