Instructions
- Position the rack of your oven in the center so that your frittata will be about 10 inches from the broil heating element.Preheat your broiler on low.

- Then uncover and place the skillet on the center rack under the broiler until the top is golden brown and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- Cut into slices and serve immediately.
Notes
- I usually have sautéed broccoli with garlic left over from the night before when I make this frittata. Seriously, sautéing broccoli this way is a real flavor boost. Alternatively, steam a few broccoli florets for about 4 minutes. You’ll only need about 2 ounces.
- I recommend aged cheese that you grate yourself. The pre-grated type contains preservatives meant to keep it from clumping. It doesn’t melt quite as well.
- Depending upon your oven, place the skillet on the center rack 7-12 inches away from the broiler flame so your frittata doesn’t burn.
- I used a cast-iron skillet to make this frittata, but I have also used this oven safe skillet.
- Frittatas pack well so you can bring a few slices on a picnic or bring a slice to work for lunch.
- Frittatas are also an excellent make-ahead dish! Just refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days. And heat them up when you want to serve.
- Frittatas are a great way to use up leftovers. Try this recipe for broccoli frittata or let your imagination take over and create your own combination.
