Mrs. Shecky posted this on her instas a while back and realized she didn’t have a recipe here on site until she baked one last weekend. Even though it is a ‘this and that’ recipe here is a basic for a great breakfast, lunch or dinner. If you have eggs and veggies, you can bake a Frittata.

Equipment

  • Oven Pie Dish Or Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Eggs
  • ¼ c Cream *See Notes
  • 5 Pieces Bacon cooked crisp
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt or Kosher-your choice
  • 1 tsp Pepper ground
  • 1 c Broccoli chopped
  • 1 c Onion diced-more or less as desired
  • 1 c Parmesan Cheese Shredded
  • 1 tsp Thyme

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 350°

    Prep

    • Prep your pie dish with cooking spray. If you are using a cast iron skillet spray or oil it only if you are not using bacon.

    Cut & Chop

    • Cut and chop the onion and broccoli. Set aside.
    • Cook the bacon until crisp and set aside.

    Saute

    • Saute the broccoli and onion for about 6 minutes in the bacon grease. If you are not using bacon skip this and just saute in a tsp of oil and butter. Set aside.

    Mix

    • Whisk the eggs, heavy cream *or cream substitute*-See notes below. Add the seasonings and whisk together.

    Add & Pour

    • Add all the Parmesan to the ingredients and give it a stir, then pour it into the pie dish. If you are using a cast iron skillet to saute and bake, use that.

    Bake

    • Bake at 350° for approximately 10-18 minutes. Again… Check it depending on your oven's temp gauge.

    Let Cool for about 5 minutes. Cut and serve.

      Notes

      *a milk substitute can be used.  I use it all the time.  The bake time may vary and you may need to add an egg for consistency.
      Fry up extra pieces of bacon and sprinkle it on before serving. 
      Wait until the last 5 minutes or so of baking and sprinkle on extra Parmesan then put it back into the oven to brown the top.  
      You can add just about any vegetables to this along with potatoes.  It can be as hardy as you want which is why it is great for lunch and/or dinner.  Just cook your veggies a bit by saute.  Eggs cook quicker than potatoes or heavier vegetables.  If you use tomatoes, you don’t need to saute them – unless you wish too.  This is a simple throw-together dish.
      Cast iron is great for this dish.  All can be cooked in that one pan from stove to oven.
      Leftovers in an airtight container can be refrigerated for 3-4 days if it lasts that long.
       
      Enjoy!
