    Butter unsalted or Margarine
  • 1 whole
    Onion yellow or Red onion
  • 2 cup
    Broccoli fresh or Frozen broccoli
  • 6
    Eggs large or Medium eggs
  • 1 cup

  • 1/4 tsp
    White pepper or Black pepper

Instructions

1

Melt butter

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a cleaner flavor.

Ingredients needed for this step

butter
2

Sauté onions

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent.

Stir occasionally to prevent the onions from burning.

Ingredients needed for this step

3

Cook broccoli

Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and cook until tender-crisp.

Cover the skillet briefly to steam the broccoli for even cooking.

Ingredients needed for this step

broccoli
4

Prepare egg mixture

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, salt, and white pepper.

Whisk vigorously to incorporate air for a fluffier frittata.

Ingredients needed for this step

eggs cheddar cheese parmesan cheese salt white pepper
5

Combine ingredients

Fold the cooked broccoli and onions into the egg mixture.

Let the broccoli cool slightly before mixing to avoid cooking the eggs prematurely.

Ingredients needed for this step

broccoli onion
6

Pour into pan

Pour the mixture into a buttered pie pan.

Use a non-stick pie pan for easier removal.

Ingredients needed for this step

butter
7

Bake the frittata

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the center is set.

Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

8

Rest and serve

Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Resting allows the frittata to set and makes slicing easier.
