Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped

4. Stir in the sautéed broccoli and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
7. Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• For an added twist, mix in some cooked, crumbled turkey sausage or diced bell peppers.
• If you’re in a rush, use frozen broccoli – just be sure to thaw and drain it well before adding it to the recipe.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
