What You Need
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200 °C).
In a lightly buttered 8 1/2 inch (21 cm) or 9 1/2 inch (24 cm) deep-dish glass pie plate, scatter broccoli and chicken.
In a large bowl whisk eggs until blended. Whisk in cream, salt and pepper. Stir in half of the cheese and pour into pie plate. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 30 to 35 min or until puffed, golden and eggs are set. Let stand for 5 min before cutting into wedges.
Tips
Kids Tip: Kids can crack the eggs. Teach them to crack the eggs into a separate bowl first just in case any bits of shell have to removed and then transfer the eggs to the bowl for whisking.
Cooking Tips: For dinner on the go, cut frittata into strips, place on a whole wheat tortilla and top with bagged torn romaine lettuce. Pack salsa or ketchup in a container for dipping
For the Adventurous: Use Canadian Monterey Jack with Hot Peppers or aged Canadian Cheddar cheese.
Substitute broccoli with 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) blanched chopped rapini.

Lighten up! Use fat-free/skim yogurt in place of cream, and 2% shredded cheese (or a mix of 2% and skim cheeses, shredded) to slash calories without sacrificing too much flavour.
