Main Ingredients
- 6 large large eggs Fresh eggs for best flavor.
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped Use fresh broccoli for optimal taste.
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Good quality cheese that melts well.
- 1 small onion, diced

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Toss in the chopped broccoli and stir-fry for about 4-5 minutes until it turns bright green and tender-crisp.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the egg mixture.
- Cook on the stovetop for 5 minutes, lifting the edges occasionally to allow the uncooked eggs to flow underneath.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata puffs up and the eggs are completely set.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
