It is very seldom that I hear my husband crave a meal prep two weeks in a row... but folks, this was a recipe he wanted to have for his breakfast at work not just one week but two weeks in a row. I bring you my Savory Broccoli & Bacon frittata! featuring smoked gruyere cheese, dried thyme and nutmeg. This frittata is perfect for any meal- it is perfection for meal prep- just make it and then me later. Normally I would say use whatever ingredients you like and have however, this time I urge you to make it exactly as it is written. Each ingredient is necessary and all the ingredients together build such a tremendous flavor profile I wouldn't want you to switch it up and be disappointed. I hope you enjoy and by the way- what a perfect edition this would be to your Fathers Day brunch!
Savory Broccoli & Bacon Frittata- Serves 51 cup broccoli florets, chopped into bite size pieces

If you are making this dish for meal prep I would advise to let it cool for about 15 minutes then cut it into portions and keep refrigerated until you are ready to eat. ENJOY!
