Broccoli and Cheddar Frittata

By Danielle Hanscom Thode of Brampton Inn

Guests at the Brampton Inn are treated to a small a-la-carte breakfast menu each morning. Main courses always include guests’ choice of eggs any style, a sweet entree or the egg dish du jour. Therefore, we cook each dish to order including frittatas. When possible, we use Carole’s organic eggs. Carole is our mid-week breakfast cook, an awesome baker and raises her own chickens.

You’ll find more great breakfast/brunch recipes in our cookbook: Breakfast & Brunch Recipes by the 8 Broads in the Kitchen!

Servings: 1

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup homemade garlic croutons, see recipe below
  • 1/3 cup steamed, al-dente, broccoli florets
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/8 cup white aged cheddar
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • butter for your pan

Instructions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

    Add a small pat of butter to coat a 7 inch Teflon omelet pan and set over medium heat. Crack your eggs into a small bowl. Whisk vigorously with fork. Salt and pepper to taste. Add eggs to hot butter. With a heat sensitive non-scratch spatula lift side of eggs and let eggs run underneath. Repeat 3-4 times. Sprinkle broccoli, croutons and cheese over still wet eggs and place pan into preheated oven. Let set for 5 min. until cheese is melted and the broccoli is heated through. Serve at once.

  2. This recipe can easily be quadrupled. Instead of using a small omelet pan use a 10 inch pan and place in the oven for 8 – 10 min. until set. Keep an eye on it as you don’t want the frittata to puff.

  3. Homemade Croutons

    Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

    1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    1 clove of garlic, very finely minced
    6 slices of hearty white bread, cut into 1/3 inch cubes
    sea salt

  4. In a medium bowl mix bread cubes, melted butter and and minced garlic. Add sea salt to taste. Toss well making sure croutons are evenly coated. Distribute in a single layer on prepared sheet pan. Bake for 15 to 20 min. or until golden. Cool before storing in a well sealed plastic bag. Can be frozen for longer storage.
