For a deeper flavor, consider using a blend of sharp and mild cheddar cheeses. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the egg mixture can introduce a pleasant hint of heat. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach, based on your preference and availability. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the vegetable mixture to a greased baking dish before adding the egg mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and position a rack in the center. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
03
StepIn a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add the chopped broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, for approximately 2 minutes. Introduce the thawed hash brown potatoes and continue cooking, stirring intermittently, for another 2 minutes. Season the vegetables lightly with additional salt and pepper to enhance their flavor. (Cook time: 7 minutes)
04
StepWith the back of a spatula or spoon, gently press the vegetables into an even layer across the bottom of the skillet. Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetables, followed by the crumbled bacon. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepPour the egg mixture carefully into the skillet, ensuring it distributes evenly around the vegetables. Gently shake the skillet to eliminate any air pockets. Allow the residual heat from the skillet to begin setting the eggs slightly, approximately 2 minutes. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
06
StepTransfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center; it should come out relatively clean, with no runny egg. (Bake time: 10 minutes)
07
StepRemove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving directly from the skillet. (Cool time: 5 minutes)
