Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup aged sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure that it’s hot and ready for your frittata.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the broccoli florets and water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 6 eggs, 1 tablespoon of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
  • Stir the cooked broccoli, 1 cup of grated aged sharp cheddar, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika into the egg mixture until everything is evenly distributed.
  • In your oven-safe skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Pour the egg and broccoli mixture into the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.
  • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional dill if desired.

Equipment

  • Oven-safe Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Medium Saucepan

Notes

  • For an extra creamy frittata, add a splash of heavy cream in place of milk.
  • Make sure not to overcook the frittata; it should be fluffy and moist.
  • Letting the frittata rest before slicing helps it hold its shape.
  • Feel free to add cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier meal.
  • The frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
