Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces cooked chicken breast
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 cups broccoli florets (chopped)
1 large red bell pepper (or orange, diced)
3 green onions (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 large eggs
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (freshly grated )

Steps:

  • Place rack in the center of your oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
  • If your chicken is not yet cooked: Cook and shred chicken.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and peppers and sauté until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the green onions, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, then add cheese, chicken, and the vegetables from the skillet. Stir to combine, then pour into the prepared pie dish.
  • Bake 40 minutes, until the center is nearly set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove and let sit 5 minutes then serve warm or at room temperature. The frittata will puff while baking, then settle a bit as it cools.

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR FRITTATA



Broccoli-Cheddar Frittata image

A frittata is an excellent way to sneak veggies into your family's diet, and in this recipe, the veggie is broccoli. Also, thawed, diced hash brown potatoes speed up the cook time and the prep time, too. If you want more color on top of the frittata, shorten the baking time by a couple of minutes, and use the broiler to achieve the color you want. For breakfast or brunch, fresh fruit or baby tomatoes make a great side.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 large eggs
¼ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup chopped onion
1 ½ cups chopped fresh broccoli
1 cup frozen diced hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Whisk eggs, cream, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat until bubbly. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chopped broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Lightly season vegetables with additional salt and pepper.
  • Gently pat the vegetables into an even layer with the back of a spatula or spoon and turn off the heat. Sprinkle cheese over the vegetables, followed by bacon.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently shake to eliminate any holes around the vegetables. Let the residual heat cook the eggs slightly, about 2 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Check for doneness by using a knife to cut the center slightly. Eggs should not be runny enough to fill the cut. Allow to cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before serving.
