Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups diced ham
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
If using fresh broccoli, steam the florets for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still bright green. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it and pat dry.
Spread the broccoli florets evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the diced ham over the broccoli, followed by 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the remaining 0.5 cup for later).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the broccoli, ham, and cheese in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. This will make slicing easier.
Cut into squares and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
