Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Broccoli florets
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small bite-sized florets.
Peel and mince the garlic.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk (if using), and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the broccoli florets to the pan and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Push the broccoli to one side of the skillet, lowering the heat to medium-low.
Pour the egg mixture into the cleared side of the skillet and allow it to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Gently scramble the eggs by stirring them with a spatula, incorporating the broccoli as the eggs continue to cook. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully set and fluffy.
Season the entire dish with the remaining salt and pepper to taste.
Optional: Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top for extra flavor before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your broccoli and eggs!
