Frittata
We were looking for a lunch meal that involves eggs (gotta get that protein up!) and found a delicious recipe for frittatas, which we then halved and altered a bit to accommodate for what we have in our fridge.
Ingredients
4 eggs
1/4 cup milk (We used 1% though the recipe asked for Whole)
1/4 lb of broccoli (the recipe asked for spinach)
4 slices of bacon
1/4 large onion, peeled and diced
1/4 cup of grated cheese (We used Mexican Four Cheese, the recipe said cheddar)
1. Preheat oven to 450º
2. Cook bacon in a skillet and remove when crispy. Drain on paper towels and leave to cool. Leave the bacon grease in the pan!
3. While bacon is cooking, start dicing the onion. When the bacon is out of the pan, put the onion into the pan and sauté for ~3 minutes. Turn off heat under the pan.
4. Cut up the broccoli into small pieces, add to the pan, and stir in.
5. Beat eggs in a bowl until frothy, then add the milk and stir until combined. At this point one of us chopped the bacon into small bits as the other one beat the eggs, so find a point to do that.
6. Pour the egg mixture and the bacon into the pan and stir everything around so everything is mixed in evenly. At this point, make sure everything is in a pan that can be put into the oven! This is important because you don't want to have to transfer it later. If you do not have an oven-safe skillet, put the mixture in a baking pan.
7. Turn the heat on medium and leave it sitting for ~5 minutes/until the egg begins to set.
8. Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the mixture (We thought the 1/4 cup looked a little skimpy and we love cheese so we sprinkled more on so it all looked covered.).
9. Put the skillet or baking pan in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked. If you're using a pan add another 5-10 minutes.

The whole family loved the frittata, even our brother who doesn't like onions or broccoli. He could hardly taste the veggies! Our dad said the frittata was further enhanced with his favorite: Cholula. We started cooking a little too late to have it for lunch, but it made a perfect dinner appetizer. We cut it into eight slices like a pizza and it was deeeeeelish.
