Broccoli and Potato Frittata makes the perfect brunch entree. Hearty ingredients like potatoes, eggs, and cheese make this frittata satisfying, while the broccoli and tomatoes make it nutritious. If you love frittatas, you may want to try my Breakfast Strata (a broccoli, mushroom, and cheese egg bake).
Broccoli and Potato Frittata
I love a hot breakfast, especially when it is made with eggs. Adding some vegetables in the mix doesn’t hurt, either! This Broccoli and Potato Frittata is like an unfolded omelet that can be shared with a few people. And, once you get the hang of it, you can customize this recipe.
Broccoli and Potato Frittata Ingredients
Russett potatoes–Potatoes are a great source of Vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. And, no need to remove the potato skins for this recipe. Just be sure to wash them well before cutting them into pieces.
Broccoli–When picking out broccoli, it should feel heavy for its size. Also, look for tight, green florets.
Eggs–Farm fresh is best.
Onion–White or yellow onions would be fine.
Tomatoes–I like using Roma tomatoes for this recipe since they have the least amount of liquid.
How to Make Broccoli and Potato Frittata
Once your prep work is done (the potatoes, onion, tomato), it’s time to put everything together. There a few independent steps you need to complete along to way, so I will be as detailed as I can.
- First, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and let them cook for 5-7 minutes, or until fork-tender.
- Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon, keeping the water boiling. Set the potatoes aside in a bowl.
- Add the broccoli to the boiling water and cook for up to a minute, or just until a bright green. Drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Saute the onions until they are softened and nearly translucent.
- Add the potatoes and broccoli to the onions and cook them all together for about a minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the egg mixture. Let it sit until the egg edge is almost firm.
- Add the sliced tomatoes and cheese.
- Finally, broil the skillet for 4-5 minutes, or until the center is firm.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
