Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil.

    Prepare the Broccoli: In a steaming pot or microwave-safe bowl, steam the broccoli florets for about 3-4 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Then, add in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.

        Add the Cheeses: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture, then gently fold in the steamed broccoli until evenly distributed.

          Pour into Baking Dish: Carefully pour the broccoli and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly, making sure the ingredients are well distributed.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when fully cooked.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. You can sprinkle paprika on top for an added touch of flavor and color. Cut it into squares and serve warm.

                Enjoy: This Cheesy Broccoli Egg Bake can be served as a hearty breakfast, a satisfying brunch dish, or a quick weeknight dinner. Pair it with a side salad for a balanced meal!
