Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

6 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1/2 cup diced onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for added flavor)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal.

    Cook the Vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the chopped broccoli and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Fold in the sautéed broccoli, onion, garlic, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Mix until everything is well incorporated.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool & Serve: Allow the mini quiches to cool for a few minutes in the tin before carefully removing them. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
