Broccoli Cheddar Frittata

Ingredients
1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped broccoli
1/4 cup water
8 eggs
1/4 cup nonfat or low-fat milk
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (3 oz.)
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
Nonstick cooking spray
Optional Ingredients
1 small carrot, diced

Materials:
10-inch skillet • Large bowl • Measuring cups • Measuring spoons • Mixing spoon • Sharp knife

1. Combine broccoli, carrot, if desired, and water in 10-inch nonstick skillet. Cook over medium heat until tender, stirring occasionally to break up broccoli, about 10 minutes; drain well.
2. Beat eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper in large bowl until blended. Add broccoli mixture, cheese and green onion; mix well.
3. Coat same skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Pour in egg mixture; cook over low to medium heat until eggs are almost set, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand until eggs are completely set and no visible liquid egg remains, 8 to 10 minutes. Cut into wedges.

Broil option: After removing from heat, frittata can be broiled, 6 inches from heat until eggs are completely set and no visible liquid egg remains, 2 to 3 minutes.

Three ways to serve a frittata: Serve wedges right from pan, slide uncut frittata topside-up onto platter, or invert it onto platter to show its nicely-browned bottom.
