Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Chop the broccoli florets into small pieces if they are not already bite-sized.
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat and sauté the broccoli for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the sautéed broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese.
Evenly divide the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg cups are puffed up and set in the center.
Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before carefully running a knife around the edges of each egg cup to loosen them from the muffin tin.
Serve warm or let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave as needed.
