Fritatta comes from the Italian word for fried, and it refers to an Italian omelette-style egg preparation that is pan-fried in olive oil or butter. A nonstick pan keeps the need for fat to a minimum in this healthy, flavorful frittata that we've loaded with vegetables, herbs and creamy goat cheese. When preparing broccoli, be sure to trim off and discard the calloused or woody base of the stem. You can peel the remaining stem with a vegetable peeler and cut it into small pieces to cook with the florets. Sprinkle the frittata wedges with chopped fresh basil or flat-leaf Italian parsley as a pretty garnish to serve.
