Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli, (cut into bite size florets)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup aged sharp cheddar, (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, (chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs with milk, 1/4 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp salt until fluffy (if salt sensitive use 1/4 tsp salt). Reserve.
  • Place broccoli florets in a medium saucepan with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid and let the broccoli steam for about 4 minutes till bright green and tender.
  • Drain any excess liquid from the broccoli in a colander.
  • Spray skillet with nonstick cooking spray or add a thin layer of olive oil, then add the steamed broccoli in an even layer across the bottom of the pan.
  • Top the broccoli with an even layer of the grated cheese.
  • Add the chopped fresh dill to the eggs and rewhisk the eggs till fluffy and the dill is well incorporated.
  • Pour egg mixture evenly over the top of the other ingredients, tilting the pan in each direction to make sure all ingredients are evenly covered with egg. Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat until the edges begin to solidify and brown a bit. Sprinkle the smoked paprika lightly across the top of the eggs.
  • Place the fritatta carefully in the oven. Let it bake for about 10 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. It will be puffy when you first take it out of the oven, then it will settle.
