Broccoli and Cheddar Skillet Flan

This savoury broccoli and cheddar flan is a clever twist on a classic vegetarian bake, using frozen hash browns to create a golden, crispy base without the need for pastry. The combination of sharp cheddar and nutty Parmigiano-Reggiano provides a deep, comforting flavour that pairs perfectly with the tender chopped broccoli. Finished under the grill for a puffed, golden topping, it offers a satisfying contrast of textures that makes it an instant family favourite.

Ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend brunch, this versatile dish is packed with protein and essential greens. Serving it straight from the frying pan adds a rustic touch to your table, and it is equally delicious served warm or at room temperature with a crisp side salad. This budget-friendly meal is a fantastic way to transform simple frozen staples into a wholesome, homemade feast.

How to make Broccoli and Cheddar Skillet Flan

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 191°C.

Whisk together eggs, milk, pepper, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoons salt until combined, then whisk in Cheddar and 3 tablespoons parmesan.

Heat oil in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté shallot, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 3 minutes. Add hash browns and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Spread potatoes evenly in skillet and cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes. Remove from heat and spread broccoli over potatoes, then pour in egg mixture. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan. Bake until set 2 inches from edge but still slightly wobbly in centre, 12 to 15 minutes.

Turn on grill. Grill 4 to 5 inches from heat until top is set, puffed, and golden brown.
