Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potato cubes. Boil for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still firm. Drain and set aside.
- Cut the broccoli into small florets.
- Steam or boil the broccoli florets until they are tender but still bright green, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, apply a short spray of cooking oil and heat over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and diced red pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are softened.
- Add the boiled sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli to the skillet. Stir to combine the vegetables evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, making sure it covers everything evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and vegetables.
- Cook the mixture on the stovetop over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
- Transfer the ovenproof skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden brown on top.
- In a bowl, toss the arugula with vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once the frittata is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve the frittata warm, alongside the fresh arugula salad.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the vegetables: To ensure that all the veggies are tender and fully cooked, lightly steam or sauté them before adding to the egg mixture.
- Use a non-stick skillet: This will make it easier to slide the frittata out of the pan and prevent any sticking.
- Cook on low heat: Cooking the frittata on a lower heat setting will help in achieving a creamy texture without burning the bottom.
- Rest before slicing: Let the frittata rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow it to set properly. This will make slicing and serving easier.
Enjoy this flavorful broccoli frittata as a complete and balanced meal that’s not only delicious but also nutritious. Serve it fresh out of the oven with a side of arugula salad dressed with a simple vinegar dressing for a delightful meal. Bon appétit!
