Equipment
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced pancetta
- 1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup onion or green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Finely chop all the vegetables.
- Heat a bit of olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet or cast iron skillet over medium heat to medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it’s crispy and golden brown.
- Add the broccoli, onions, salt, and black pepper to the skillet and sauté for a couple of minutes.
- Add the peppers to the skillet and sauté for a couple of minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, and parsley.
- Pour the egg mixture over the pancetta and broccoli in the skillet. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Remove the healthy breakfast casserole from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, you can cook the veggies and pancetta on the stove, then transfer to a baking dish before adding the egg mixture and baking.
- Feel free to swap the pancetta with bacon, turkey bacon, or even a vegetarian option like smoked tofu for a different twist.
