Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, or half a large onion, chopped
• 1 crown fresh broccoli, florets separated
• 1 and 1/2 cups cooked ham, chopped (I used a ham steak)
• 6 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into chunks
• 9 eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/8 pepper, or to taste

Directions

• Add 5 cups water to a small pot. Season with 2 teaspoons salt. (Not the salt called for in the frittata). Bring the pot to a boil.
• In an 11 inch cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent, 5-8 minutes. If the onions are finished cooking before you are ready to add the rest of the ingredients, turn the burner off.
• Add the broccoli florets to the water when its at a rolling boil. Immediately cover with a lid and set a timer for 3 minutes. No peeking! When the timer goes off, drain into a colander right away. Dont rinse.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
• Preheat your broiler. Move the rack to about 5 inches from the flame.
• When the onions are cooked, spread the broccoli in the pan. Top with the chopped ham. Sprinkle the chunks of cheese over the top.
• If you have turned the burner off, turn it on to medium. Make sure the pan is hot before adding the egg mixture.
• Pour the egg mixture over the top. Dont stir. Cook for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are starting to set.
• Transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil for 2-5 minutes. Dont walk away! Check it every 1 minute. The frittata is done when the top is brown and the eggs are set (not wiggly).
