Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an equivalent baking dish with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sautéed onions, and blanched broccoli until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
