Broccoli-Pepper Frittata
Add a kick
of flavor to your morning meal! Try this delicious (and satisfying!)
veggie-filled frittata. It’s so simple that you can whip it up in minutes
— or prepare a few in advance for those super-busy days. Just freeze the
additional frittatas until needed, then pop them in the microwave!
Ingredients
10 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons water or light cream
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh or thawed, frozen broccoli florets
3/4 cup large red sweet pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons reduced-fat Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1. In a medium bowl, combine eggs and water or cream; set aside. In a
10-inch skillet, heat oil. Add broccoli, sweet pepper, onion, Italian
seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat for 4
to 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.
2. Pour egg mixture over vegetable mixture in skillet. As mixture sets,
run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked
portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges until eggs
are nearly set (surface will be moist).
3. Remove skillet from heat; sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand
for 3 to 4 minutes or until set. Cut into wedges.
