Egg Recipes: Favorite Frittata
Description
The recipe starts by whisking together eggs, milk, minced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Scallions and broccoli are cooked in olive oil until the broccoli remains bright green but tender. Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky warmth and depth to the vegetables before the egg mixture is poured in evenly. Crumbled feta is sprinkled on top, adding a tangy creaminess.
Cooking the frittata in a cast-iron skillet in the oven allows gentle, even heat to set the eggs without drying them out, resulting in a textured top and moist center. The dish can be seasoned to taste once baked and served warm. It pairs well with fresh greens or crusty bread to round out a meal.
