Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 4 Bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven broiler on high.
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the blanched broccoli, salt, and pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture into the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft scrambled. Remove from heat.
Stir the shredded cheddar cheese into the scrambled eggs until melted and evenly incorporated.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice and place them on a baking sheet, butter-side down.
Top each slice of bread with a generous scoop of the scrambled egg and cheese mixture, followed by the sautéed broccoli.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the toppings are slightly golden.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Broccoli and Cheese Breakfast Melts!
