Ham and Broccoli Frittata Recipe - This fast and easy ham and broccoli frittata recipe is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even breakfast for dinner.

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.

Ham and Broccoli Frittata Recipe

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.

    My son loves Brussel Sprouts as well, so I can identify with your story 🙂 Your frittata sounds delicious – love the ham and broccoli combination!

    Yum! We still have some broccoli… and maybe even a few brussel sprouts out in the field. I will have to add this to our weekly rotation next week. I am always looking for great ways to use up my fresh eggs.

    Did you slice or shred the brussel sprouts for the other recipe? I have used broccoli in the past, but am really intrigued by the brussel sprout idea. 🙂

      I cut the Brussel sprouts in half and then thinly sliced them, like I did in this recipe for Lemon Pepper Brussels Sprouts. The Brussels Sprouts were really good in the frittata and I never would have tried using them if it hadn’t been for my daughter. I was of the opinion that Brussels Sprouts weren’t a breakfast food. 🙂

    Broccoli is most definitely a breakfast food in our household. I’m not so sure about brussels sprouts though. haha I would definitely try it with an open mind. Your frittata looks delicious, Alea!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
