Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (* shredded plus more for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small shallot (* diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (* minced)
  • 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
  • sliced green onions or parsley (* optional garnish)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well blended. Stir in the cheese and set aside.
  • In a large, oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic, and broccoli and cook until just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Spread the vegetables out around the pan, then gently pour the egg mixture into the pan.
  • Continued cooking for 1-2 minutes, or until the bottom just starts to firm up. 
  • Place the pan in the oven and cook for about 12-15 minutes (add extra cheese on top at around 10-12 minutes, if desired, so that it has a few minutes to melt before the frittata is done cooking).
  • The frittata is done when it is just barely jiggly in the middle and golden brown along the edges and bottom. 
  • Slice into 8 pieces and top with the green onions or parsley, if desired.
