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.

Meanwhile, combine eggs, Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup cheese and salt and pepper to taste.

Add egg mixture to the broccoli, stir to combine, top with remaining cheese and transfer to the oven.

Cook 15 minutes or until eggs have fully set.
