Cook time: 50 minutes
Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 ounces broccolini, trimmed
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 3½ cups turnips (about 2 medium), peeled and shredded
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 8 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- ¼ cup low-fat milk
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ½ cup shredded fontina or Cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccolini and cook until very tender, about 6-7 minutes. Drain well. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with garlic and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, turnips and ¼ teaspoon salt. Spread the mixture into an even layer; cook, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Then stir the mixture and scrape up any browned bits. Spread the mixture back into an even layer and continue cooking, without stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir again, spread back into an even layer and cook until mostly golden brown, 2–4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Wash and dry the skillet.
- Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk in a medium bowl. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the egg mixture and cook, stirring briefly, until beginning to set, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Spoon the turnip mixture evenly over the eggs. Top with cheese, then the broccolini.
- Transfer the pan to the oven. Bake the frittata until set, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand 5 minutes.
- To release the frittata from the pan, run a flexible rubber spatula along the edges then underneath, until you can slide it out onto a cutting board or serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
