Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons cream, half-and-half, or milk (about 30 ml)
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning (such as an egg-friendly seasoning blend)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g)
- 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese (about 25 g)
- 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese (about 25 g)
- 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (about 25 g)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a glass casserole dish (approximately 18 x 28 cm / 7 x 11 inches) with nonstick spray.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, about 2–3 cm (1 inch) across.
- Place the broccoli in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils and the broccoli turns bright green (less than 5 minutes), drain immediately in a colander.
- While the broccoli cools slightly, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the cream or milk, seasoning, and black pepper. Beat well until fully combined.
- Spread the well-drained broccoli evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the Swiss, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses over the broccoli.
- Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese. Use a fork to gently stir so everything is evenly distributed.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set, puffed, and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
