Prepare the crock pot by spraying the inside with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Wash and cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Steam them lightly for 3-4 minutes or until they are just tender. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, and minced garlic into the egg mixture.
Add the steamed broccoli florets to the egg mixture and gently stir until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared crock pot, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the eggs are set and the edges are lightly browned.
Once cooked, turn off the crock pot and allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Egg and Broccoli Brunch Casserole as-is or with a side of fresh fruit or toast.
