Christmas Breakfast Re-Take & $300 AMAZON GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY!!!

I know. I know. Christmas is over.  As a matter of fact, it was LAST YEAR if you want to get technical.  So here's the deal, I host Christmas breakfast on Christmas morning.  I keep it super casual and small.  It's my group of 5, my brother and his family and my mom and her significant other and lastly, my mother in law. If you are looking for a tally it's 11 people, out of which maybe 4 or 5 will eat.  In years past I have always made two quiches.  I make one with meat and one without, mainly because my sister in law is vegetarian but I also like the veggie packed  delight. Then I usually follow it up with something sweet, like a danish or sticky bun, or even a monkey bread type recipe.  This year (or last year if still being technical) I threw that all in the past. I made a delicious overnight french toast and a broccoli & cheese frittata.   So why didn't I share it with you earlier?

BECAUSE I'M AN IDIOT AND DIDN'T TAKE PICTURES!  I got so caught up in Christmas (shame on me) and photographing my kids, that I totally forgot to take pictures.  What kind of blogger does that make me?  Not sure, but I get points in the mom department, for sure!

In order to win back some points, I decided to remake a frittata for you.  Okay, it might have been because I was craving a delicious frittata, but I did give the blog and you a tiny bit of thought.  I scaled this one down because it was only me eating it and actually I only added cheese because I was out of broccoli, but that is kind of the beauty of a frittata, you can throw whatever the heck you have in it, or don't.

I'm going to give you the original large recipe that I made that easily fed all 5 of us adults.  I didn't exactly measure when I was making the single frittata, and this recipe is very forgiving so you can eyeball the scaling down to adapt to your crowd and/or pan size.  I promise, you can.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
• 2 T oil
• 3 C broccoli florets (steamed in the microwave)
• 1/2 sweet onion, diced
• 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• salt & pepper
• 9 large eggs
• 1/2 C mozzarella cheese (or cheddar if you prefer)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large oven proof skillet (10 inch works great) heat 1 T olive oil over medium/high heat.  Add garlic, onion and red pepper flakes and cook until onion is just tender, about 4 minutes.  Add broccoli to the pan and stir together.  Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper.  Stir in the broccoli mixture.
4. Return the skillet back to the burner and heat remaining oil over medium/low heat.  Add egg mixture.
5. DO NOT STIR.  Leave it alone until the edges are set, about 3-5 minutes.  Top with cheese and transfer skillet to oven.
6. Bake until frittata is set, about 12 minutes.
7. Serve warm or at room temperature
8. Optional:  Top with sliced scallions.
