Broccoli Frittata

Yum. So, I think I maybe used a litttttle too much broccoli, but this was still insanely good.  Frittatas make a great, healthy brunch recipe, and they're so easy to make! Ironically, the reason I haven't made one (ever!) before this is that I wasn't sure if my saute pan was oven-safe.  Finally, I just thought to myself that I have been thinking about making frittatas for a (really) long time, and my saute pan is only about a year old, so it's very unlikely that I had bought a non-oven-safe one. So I just stuck it in the oven and hoped for the best!

... and that's how people accidentally set their apartments on fire. Fortunately, that's not how this little story ended. It ended with a delicious frittata, perfectly cooked.
