Ingredients
  

For the Frittata
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tablespoon grated Parmigiano Reggiano plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more
  • 40 turns black pepper from a mill
  • 7 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil divided, plus more for serving
  • 1 medium (1-pound) head of broccoli 4 cups once trimmed
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 heaping tablespoon garlic chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes plus 1 large pinch
  • 1 squeeze fresh lemon juice to taste

Equipment

  • 10-inch ovenproof skillet
  • Whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim the broccoli and cut into bite-sized florets. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the red onion and cook for another 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. While the vegetables cook, whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the Parmigiano Reggiano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the lemon juice.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden.
  6. Let the frittata rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and sprinkle with additional Parmigiano Reggiano, if desired.

Notes

This frittata is delicious served warm or at room temperature. It makes for a great make-ahead meal for lunches or light dinners.
