Instead of the usual rolled frittata, I decided to change up the shape and make little sandwiches 🥪
They're delicious warm or cold, perfect for a savory snack or a packed lunch 🍱
With broccoli added to the frittata, it works great as the 'bread' for ham and cream cheese 😋

Steps

1 hour

1

Take the broccoli, remove all the leaves and the main stem, and set them aside. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the florets for about 15 minutes.
2

Once cooked, place the broccoli in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
3

In a large bowl, add the eggs, blended broccoli, salt, pepper, and paprika. Whisk by hand until well combined.
4

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and pour in the mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 20 minutes on the middle rack.
5

Remove from the oven and let cool. Flip the frittata onto a large plate, remove the parchment paper, spread a thin layer of cream cheese, and lay the slices of cooked ham over half of the frittata. Cut the frittata where the ham ends and use that half to cover the filled side. Cut into 6 squares and serve warm 😋

If you like stuffed frittata, try the BAKED FRITTATA WITH COOKED HAM—this one is rolled 😉

Ho sempre avuto un legame speciale con il cibo, anche quando non lo sapevo ancora. Quel piccolo sussurro dentro di me mi ha guidata a scoprire la mia vera passione: cucinare. Così ho deciso di approfondire le mie conoscenze conseguendo un diploma in ambito agrituristico, per unire tradizione e tecnica. Da questa passione è nato il mio sito https://blog.giallozafferano.it/lastanzadeisapori/ uno spazio dedicato a chi ama la cucina semplice e autentica, fatta di ingredienti genuini e ricette di casa, proprio come quelle della mia adorata nonna. Qui condivido con voi i sapori di una volta, raccontando storie e tradizioni che rendono ogni piatto un piccolo viaggio nel tempo 🥰.
