Cookware
chef's knife · cutting board · grater · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · oven mitts · spatula · stainless steel or cast iron skillet · whisk or fork
Directions
- Peel and dice the onion; wash the broccoli and cut into bite-sized florets.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and get it ready.
- Measure out half a cup of shredded cheddar and set aside.
- Melt butter in the skillet, then add the onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and lightly browned, about 3–4 minutes.
- Whisk eggs with a splash of water, the remaining cheddar, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Add more butter to the skillet, then add broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, 2–3 minutes.
- Spread the broccoli evenly in the skillet, reduce heat to medium-low, and pour in the egg mixture. As the edges set, gently lift them to let uncooked eggs flow underneath.
- Cook until the bottom and sides are firm but the top is still a bit runny, about 5–7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar over the top and transfer the skillet to the oven under the broiler until the top is set, 2–3 minutes.
- Cut the frittata into wedges and serve right away.
Two tips
- Prep the onion and broccoli ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to cook.
- If you have more cheddar on hand, add a final sprinkle on top after baking and finish with a pinch of black pepper.
