Ingredients
  

  • 1 package frozen chopped broccoli 10-oz
  • 1/4 Cup water
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/4 Cup nonfat or low-fat milk
  • 2 Teaspoons prepared mustard
  • 1 Teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/8 Teaspoon pepper
  • 3/4 Cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese 3 ounces
  • 1 Tablespoon green onion chopped
  • 1 small carrot diced
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Combine broccoli, carrot, if desired, and water in 10-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until tender, stirring occasionally to break up broccoli, about 10 minutes; drain well.
  • Beat eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper in large bowl until blended. Add broccoli mixture, cheese and green onion; mix well.
  • Coat same skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until eggs are almost set, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Cover and let stand until eggs are completely set and no visible liquid egg remains, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut into wedges.

Notes

Chef's Notes: Broil option: After removing from heat, frittata can be broiled, 6 inches from heat until eggs are completely set and no visible liquid egg remains, 2 to 3 minutes.
Three ways to serve a frittata: Serve wedges right from pan, slide uncut frittata topside-up onto platter, or invert it onto platter to show its nicely-browned bottom.
Equipment: 10-inch skillet, Large bowl, Measuring cups, Measuring spoons, Mixing spoon, Sharp knife.
