Oven Baked Broccoli Frittata and Dave's Killer Bread

 I can never get frittatas right in a pan, the top is always runny while the bottom burns, so I baked this one in the oven. Awesome for a weekend breakfast.

Oven Baked Broccoli Frittata
Serves 2

4 eggs
1 stem of broccoli
2 oz cheddar (optional)
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 375. Chop up broccoli, I recommend using the stem and just shaving off the tougher parts of it, and steam it for a minute or two. Meanwhile crack four eggs into a bowl and beat them along with salt and pepper. Spray olive oil or pam on an oven proof pan, I used a small pyrex rectangle, add eggs and broccoli to the pan. Top with 2 oz of shredded cheddar. You could use another cheese or skip this altogether, but Charlie won't eat eggs and broccoli together without cheddar, so we always use it. :)

The broccoli frittata is shown here with Dave's Killer Bread, a new discovery from Elizabeth. She was eating it on our snow shoe day and I zeroed in on it for its high seed content. Great for vegetarians, this bread is made with flax seeds, a non-animal source of omega 3s and B-12. In addition to being scrumptious bread, it comes with a great story of how an ex-con turned his life around through baking bread, it's 100% organic down to the cane juice and it comes in a biodegradable bag. One of these days I am going to get organized and use the bags for composting food scraps in the yard waste bin.
