Broccoli and Smoked Salmon Frittata by Karen Yeng Lee Lim


Ingredients:- 
250g of broccoli, trimmed and cut into small florets
1tsp butter
8 large eggs (I used 6 eggs cos that was what I have left)
150g approx. or as you wish, smoked salmon (or salmon, different other than the smokiness is the salt in smoked salmon), about an old 50 sen coin size and 5mm thick
Ground black pepper
Some shaved parmesan and Coon tasty cheese (or any cheddar)

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Lightly grease a 5cm-deep, 26cm x 16.5cm (base) ovenproof dish.
2. Bring a pan of water to the boil and drop in the broccoli for just 2 mins or until just tender. Drain in a colander and rinse immediately in cold water. Shake and drain well. 
3. Heat the butter and toss in parboiled broccoli for about 2 mins. Set aside.
4. Beat the eggs with pepper. 
5. Scatter the salmon and cooked broccoli on the dish evenly and pour eggs over, should just cover with some bits of salmon & broccoli showing. Sprinkle with parmesan and tasty cheese. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until egg mixture is set and top golden. Stand for 5 minutes. Serve. Eat with salad, if like. Cold leftovers great for lunchboxes or for breakfast. According to Jamie Oliver : Serving suggestions: This frittata is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you’re serving it for lunch or dinner you might want to have a salad as well to make it more of a complete meal.

Tips from the dietitian: A frittata is a great way of adding vegetables to your diet and is a good way of increasing your intake of vitamins and minerals. Try to limit yourself to one egg a day; although they are low in saturated fat and calories, they are high in cholesterol.

Food safety: Certain groups of people, such as young children, the elderly and pregnant women, may have weaker immune systems, which put them at higher risk of contracting salmonella. To be on the safe side, they should avoid eating foods that contain raw egg. After broiling, the eggs in this frittata will be fully cooked, so it’s a good choice for everyone!
The possibility is endless what you want in your frittata but one of my faves is this smoked salmon with broccoli.

Note: As long as enough salmon and broccoli to cover the whole dish, you are good.
