Ham and Broccoli Frittata

On Christmas morning, I decided to use our leftover Honey Glazed Ham to make a fast and easy Ham and Broccoli Frittata. When my daughter saw what I was going to do, she said, “You can’t use broccoli, broccoli isn’t a breakfast food”. When I asked her what I should use instead she said Brussels Sprouts. Seriously? On what planet do kids say, “Broccoli isn’t a breakfast food … I want Brussels Sprouts”?!?

Yes, I’ve made a doctor’s appointment; something is obviously wrong! 🙂

Since it was Christmas morning I made a frittata with Brussels sprouts, and the whole family enjoyed it. But on the 26th, I made my Ham and Broccoli Frittata. My daughter loved it and conceded that under the right conditions, broccoli could be a breakfast food.

I love making frittatas; they are fast, easy, and oh, so delicious! I can use leftovers from the night before, which cuts down on prep time. Although they transfer from the stove top to broiler, they only require one pan, which reduces clean up. But here is the coolest part, because they remind people of a quiche, you get the “wow factor” without the work.
