You can use any frozen vegetable in this delicious vegetarian entree recipe; try green beans or baby peas. Use leftover toasted bread slices to make the bread crumbs.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 Tbsp. butter, divided
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets, steamed and well drained
  • 1 cup chopped plum tomatoes, drained
  • 1-1/2 cups coarse toasted bread crumbs
  • 10 eggs, beaten
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated Havarti cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a heavy skillet, melt 2 Tbsp. butter in 2 Tbsp. olive oil until slightly foamy. Add garlic and broccoli and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Add bread crumbs and cook and stir 2-3 minutes longer. Set aside.

In another oven proof skillet, melt remaining 2 Tbsp. butter over medium heat and spread to coat bottom of pan. Season eggs with salt and pepper and pour into skillet.

This frittata was delicious and easy. I used fresh brocoli and raisin bread toast crumbs instead of garlic bread, also marble chesse instead of havarti and I eyeballed the measurements but it was a big hit with husband and daughter. I look forward to this one. It would be a splendid brunch too!
