Frittata

A frittata is a great way to use up any vegetables in your refrigerator. In this version, I have used broccoli, onion, garlic and cheese. I added some Greek yogurt to increase the protein content of the frittata.

Recipe

1 Tbsp Olive oil

1 Onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 head of broccoli, chopped into bite sized pieces

8 eggs

1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

1/2 cup shredded cheese, divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F.

Heat olive oil in an oven proof pan. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, and cook about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add broccoli, stir to combine and add 1/2 cup of water. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and cook 5-8 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and softened.
