Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs cage-free
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 2 cups freshly grated cheese
  • 1 tbs. olive oil EVVO or cooking spray
  • 2 cups broccoli chopped into 1 inch sections (or broccolini)
  • 2 cups spinach roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425 F. In a large bowl wish together eggs, cream, ½ of the garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. Then fold in 1 cup of cheese and set aside.
  • In a frying pan cook the broccoli florets at medium-high heat covered for about 3 minutes. Once broccoli is tender when poked with a fork, add the remaining garlic and spinach to pan. Cooking another 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted but not browned. It should be a healthy green color.
  • Transfer vegetable mixture to a casserole dish spreading the mixture evenly across the bottom of the bowl. Whisk the egg mixture once more and pour over the vegetable lined dish.
  • Take remaining cheese and sprinkle on top of the egg-vegetable mixture. Put the dish in the oven and bake for no more than 20 mins. A light browning will occur on the tops and edges of the dish.
  • Once the frittata is done baking, sprinkle a little more salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Notes

User recipe submitted by Marcy Block of Pikesville
  • Covered and refrigerated the dish can keep for about 3 days.
  • Get fancy and use your artistic side! This recipe lends itself well to alterations. I have added tomato slices to the top of the dish before baking. Other vegetables can be substituted like Swiss chard, arugula, green onions, etc. Have fun cooking!
