Ingredients
one whole eggfour egg whites3/4 cup chopped roasted broccoli1/4 cup chopped roasted garlic1/2 cup sauteed yellow onion1-2 tbsp olive oil (plus some for sauteeing onion and roasting broccoli and garlic)1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, or to tastesalt and pepper to taste
Directions
To roast broccoli and garlic, put in pan and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast in 425 oven for 15-20 minutes (can be slightly undercooked because it will cook more in the frittata).
Sautee onion in a bit of olive oil for 5-10 minutes over medium low heat until soft, but not golden.
(Or use other leftover veggies that are already cooked).

To make frittata:

Preheat oven to 350.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
While oil heats, beat together egg and egg whites, half the cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
When the oil is hot add the vegetables to the egg mixture, stir to combine, and pour it all into the skillet. Turn the heat to medium low and let it cook undisturbed for about 10 minutes until the bottom seems set.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and transfer to oven. Bake until top is set (not runny)--10-15 minutes). You can speed this up by raising the oven temp but watch carefully so it doesn't burn.

Let cool a bit, cut into wedges, and serve. Makes about four breakfast servings. Nice with a side of fruit or some avocado.
