Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 2 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 slices Whole-grain bread
Instructions
Wash and chop the broccoli florets into small, bite-sized pieces.
In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Stir gently and continuously with a spatula, cooking the eggs slowly until they are creamy and just set (about 3-4 minutes). Remove from the heat.
Toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Assemble the sandwich: Place one slice of cheese on a slice of toasted bread, top with the scrambled eggs, followed by the sautéed broccoli, and finally the second slice of cheese. Add the other slice of bread on top to complete the sandwich.
Optional: Place the assembled sandwich back into the skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, to melt the cheese and heat through.
Serve the sandwich warm and enjoy!
