Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 brown onion, diced
- 2 bunches broccolini, cut into 2 cm pieces
- 150 g sliced ham, roughly chopped
- 6 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150 g) cottage cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup grated low-fat cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a 10–12 inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
- Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until softened.
- Stir in the chopped broccolini and cook for another 5 minutes, until just tender.
- Add the ham and give everything a good stir so it’s evenly mixed.
- Pour the egg mixture over the broccolini and ham, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the frittata cool (and de-puff!) for a few minutes before slicing. Season with extra salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Swap ham with smoked salmon, chicken, or skip for vegetarian.
- Store in fridge 3–4 days, or freeze up to 2 months. Thaw in fridge and reheat.
