Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1.5 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 cup cooked, flaked salmon
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the broccoli by steaming or blanching it until just tender, then chop into small pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Cooking
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the steamed broccoli and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly golden.
  2. Stir in the flaked salmon and ensure it is evenly distributed.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and salmon in the skillet, covering the contents evenly.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded cheese across the top.
  5. Cook on the stovetop for about 4-5 minutes, or until the edges begin to set.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until set and lightly golden on top.
  7. Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges and serving.

Notes

For substitutions, swap broccoli for spinach or bell peppers, and use canned salmon if needed. Avoid overcooking—the frittata should be firm but slightly jiggly in the center. Add fresh herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat in the microwave or skillet.
