Broccoli Pasta Frittata Recipes

EASY BROCCOLI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and let cool, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a pan with 2-inch sides.
• Whisk eggs, milk, paprika, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Pour over broccoli.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 35 minutes.

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR FRITTATA

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.

BROCCOLI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Trim all the leaves and stems from the broccoli and cut the flowerets into uniform pieces. Only the flowerets will be used for this recipe but the stems can be reserved for cooking to make a puree or stir-fried dish.
• Steam the flowerets until crisp-tender and still bright green, refresh under cold water, drain well and coarsely chop.
• Heat oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet. Add the sausage and saute until it begins to brown. Add onions and saute until tender. Stir in the garlic and continue to saute a moment longer. Stir in the broccoli and season this mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
• Season the eggs to taste with salt and pepper and pour over the ingredients in the skillet. Redistribute the broccoli and sausage evenly in the mixture if necessary. Cook over medium heat for a couple of minutes, then, as the eggs begin set around the edges, lift the edges to allow some of the liquid egg to run into the bottom of the pan. Then cover the pan and continue to cook until the eggs have almost completely set, about 7 minutes.
• Remove cover and sprinkle cheese over the frittata. Cover again and continue to cook just until the cheese has melted and the eggs are set but still soft on top. (Alternately, the frittata can be placed under the broiler once the cheese has been added, to glaze the top.)
• Serve frittata directly from the pan, with a little oil and vinegar sprinkled over it, if desired.
