PREHEAT THE OVEN:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.

  1. Place the fresh broccoli florets in a small microwaveable bowl and add 2 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes on high. Set aside to cool.
  2. Heat the skillet over medium high heat and spray with vegetable spray. Add the diced onion and sauté until the onion is tender and lightly golden. Remove from heat.
ASSEMBLE THE FRITTATA INGREDIENTS:
  1. When the broccoli is cool enough to handle, remove the florets from the bowl and pat them dry with a paper towel.

  3. Add the diced red pepper, sautéed onion, broccoli florets and finely grated cheese to the egg mixture.
MAKE THE FRITTATA:
  1. Place the same skillet over medium high heat and spray with nonstick vegetable spray. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sides and edges are set. Transfer the broccoli frittata to the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the eggs in the center of the frittata are set.
  2. Use a spatula to loosen the sides of the frittata and slide it onto a platter to cut into wedges and serve.
