Ingredients

• 4 servings pepper black freshly ground
• 2 cups broccoli cooked chopped
• 8 large eggs 
• 2 teaspoons olive oil 
• 1 cup onion red sliced
• 0.3 teaspoon salt 
• 2 ounces cheddar cheese shredded extra-sharp
• 2 tablespoons water 

Equipment

• bowl
• frying pan
• whisk
• broiler

Directions

1. Watch how to make this recipe.
2. Separate 4 of the eggs, putting the whites into a medium sized bowl and discarding the yolks (or saving them for another purpose).
3. Add the remaining 4 whole eggs and 2 tablespoons of water to the whites and whisk well.
4. In a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet heat the oil over a medium flame.
5. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the broccoli and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and a few turns of pepper.
7. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet covering them evenly. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let cook until the egg mixture has set around the edges but is somewhat liquid in the middle, about 8 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with the cheese.
9. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
10. Place the skillet under the broiler about 2 inches from the heat until the surface is set and golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or the egg mixture will become tough.
11. Cut the frittata into 8 wedges and serve.
