Description

A delicious and easy broccoli cheese egg bake perfect for breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 eggs, beaten with a fork
  • 2 T cream, half and half, or milk
  • 1 tsp Spike Seasoning (or use any all-purpose seasoning that’s good with eggs)
  • to taste fresh ground black pepper
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Spray a glass casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Cut broccoli into flowerets about 1 inch across.
  3. Put broccoli into pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils and broccoli turns bright green (less than 5 minutes), immediately drain broccoli into colander.
  4. While broccoli cools, break eggs into mixing bowl. Add milk or half and half, Spike Seasoning, and black pepper and beat eggs until ingredients are well combined.
  5. Put the well-drained broccoli into casserole dish. Sprinkle cheeses over broccoli.
  6. Pour eggs over broccoli-cheese, then use a fork to gently stir so that broccoli and cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the eggs.
  7. Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until top is slightly browned and eggs puff up slightly.
  8. Serve hot, with sour cream if desired.
  9. This will keep in the fridge for several days and can be reheated in the microwave or in a hot frying pan.
