This Mushroom and Broccoli Frittata is an excellent source of vitamin C from broccoli. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant to neutralize free radicals in the body and contributes to immunity and bone health. Broccoli is also a cruciferous vegetable that may enhance detoxification of undesirable compounds. To optimize its many health benefits, lightly steam this vegetable and make sure not to overcook it.

*Note: To blanch broccoli, boil water and add broccoli for approximately 1 minute. Can also use defrosted frozen broccoli in place of fresh blanched broccoli.

    Great simple frittata but the nutrition data showing 100 calories is not correct even for one serving. Assuming you go with the 2 servings per recipe shown.
