This “Broccoli and Cheddar Frittata” makes for a great healthy breakfast or the perfect dish for a small brunch. Frittatas are terrific because they are loaded with fresh vegetables and plenty of protein from the eggs. They are low in carbs and are gluten free. Frittatas are great because you can add nearly any type of vegetable to them. Over the years I have created dozens of frittatas for my family. The kids love them. They make great leftovers, and heat nicely in the microwave. Frittatas make a nice light dinner option served with a side salad. They are also great for brunch. You can easily double the recipe to feed a larger group. I never get tired of this recipe. I switch out the vegetables and herbs making it new tasty every single time. Frittatas are an awesome way to use up leftover vegetables. I encourage you to try them. As always I love hearing from you. Please share your comments below.
