Breakfast Frittata Recipe 

Breakfast Frittata

Easy Breakfast in Broiler

In 6 to 8 minutes you’ll have the fluffiest tastiest egg dish in town! 

  • Place a small, 6 inch skillet on stove-top on high flame (I bought this $9 T-fal on Amazon and love it!)
  • Beat up to 3 eggs, egg whites, or egg beaters
  • Add your favorite ingredients (I prefer kosher salt, black pepper and any kind of shredded cheese)
  • Pour into skillet.

TIP:  If you don’t have a non-stick skillet, quirt it with your favorite cooking spray (I use Costco’s brand, 2 for $7)

  • Cook for 3 minutes, or until eggs bubble a little (don’t stir)
  • Remove from heat and turn off stove-top flame
  • Turn on broiler to high broil (or 500 degrees)
  • Place skillet in broiler for approximately 3-5 minutes or until the top of your Frittata is golden brown
  • Touch to make sure it’s cooked through

TIP:   Keep the oven door cracked so the broiler stays on, and you can keep an eye on it.  

Then, take it to your sweetie in bed!
