Ingredients

• 250 g broccoli florets
• 8 large eggs
• 120 ml milk
• 100 g cheddar cheese, shredded
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Stir in the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, leaving a small handful of cheddar aside for topping.

Step 4

Heat a 10-inch (25 cm) oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the diced onion. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet, stirring gently to distribute it evenly.

Step 7

Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 9

Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
