Ingredients
  

For the Frittata
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon grated Parmigiano Reggiano plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
  • 40 turns black pepper from a mill
  • 7 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil divided, plus more for serving
  • 1 medium (1-pound) head of broccoli 4 cups once trimmed
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 heaping tablespoon garlic chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes plus 1 large pinch
  • 1 squeeze fresh lemon juice to taste

Equipment

  • 10-inch oven-safe skillet
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim the broccoli and cut into small florets. Thinly slice the red onion. Chop the garlic.
  3. Heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Add the red onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. While the vegetables cook, whisk together the eggs, Parmigiano Reggiano, kosher salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the lemon juice.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the frittata rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with extra Parmigiano Reggiano, if desired.

Notes

This frittata is delicious served warm or at room temperature. You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or spinach, or even some cooked sausage or ham for a heartier meal.
