This recipe starts off on the stove to give the vegetables a head start in the cooking process, before they go into the oven with the eggs.

A cast iron skillet or a stainless steel frying pan (just make there is no plastic on the handle!) would be ideal for this frittata recipe.

For this Broccoli Cheese Frittata recipe, I recommend:

Here are a few kitchen tools that I suggest using to ensure this homemade frittata recipe comes out perfect:

  • Oven-Safe Frying Pan or Cast Iron Skillet โ€“ Either of these pans would work great for this recipe, because they are safe to use both on the stovetop and in the oven.
  • Cuisinart Box Grater โ€“ You can save a ton of money by grating a brick of cheese yourself, rather than buying pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese also contains additives that prevent the cheese from sticking together in the bag, so if you grate it yourself it will melt better too!
