Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups small broccoli florets
  • 10 eggs
  • cup water
  • ½ teaspoon chipotle pepper powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ green onions white & green parts, thinly sliced
  • cup grated Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by coating each cup with cooking spray.
  • Set a medium saucepan of water over high heat and bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cook until just tender, about 1½ minutes. Drain and immediately rinse with cold water.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, water, chipotle pepper powder, and kosher salt.
  • Divide the broccoli, green onions and cheddar cheese between the muffin tin cups.
  • Transfer the egg mixture to a bowl or measuring cup with a spout and pour the egg over the broccoli mixture, filling each cup to no more than ¾ full.
  • Bake until the egg is set and the tops of the frittatas are starting to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Run a knife or thin metal spatula around the edge of each frittata and gently lift them out. Serve immediately.
  • (If you have leftovers, let them cool for about 15 minutes, then store in an airtight container. Reheat in a 350 degree oven or toaster oven for 3 to 4 minutes.)
