Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large covered nonstick ovenproof skillet, cook potatoes in oil over medium heat, stirring once or twice, for about 10 minutes or until tender and lightly browned.
- Add chopped broccoli to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, grated Parmesan, minced parsley, and black pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
- Cook without stirring over medium heat until the eggs are mostly set, about 5-7 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven broiler and broil until the top is golden and puffed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture. If you're short on time, you can use frozen broccoli instead of fresh. Also, feel free to swap the Parmesan with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile. This frittata works well with any leftover vegetables you have on hand, making it a versatile option for using up fridge staples.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional parsley for freshness. It pairs beautifully with a side of Low-Fat Caesar Salad for a balanced meal. For a more substantial brunch, consider offering slices alongside crusty bread or a light tomato salad. This dish is also excellent for meal prep, providing quick breakfasts throughout the week.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, reheat in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes until heated evenly, which helps maintain the frittata's texture.
