Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 8 pieces large eggs
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 1 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups yellow onion, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Use a spatula to distribute the broccoli and onion evenly in the mixture.

Step 8

Cook on the stovetop for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.

Step 10

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool slightly (about 5 minutes).

Step 11

Slice into wedges and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
