Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk or cream
• 1 cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare Broccoli: Steam or blanch the broccoli florets until they are tender but still crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain well and finely chop them.
3. Mix Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk (or cream) until well combined and frothy.
4. Add Broccoli and Cheese: Stir in the finely chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. If you have leftover cheese, you can sprinkle a little on top of each egg bite for extra flavor.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
7. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the egg bites cool for a few minutes. Use a knife or spatula to gently loosen the egg bites from the muffin tin and transfer them to a plate or serving dish.
8. Serve: Serve the Broccoli Cheddar Egg Bites warm as a delicious breakfast or snack option. They can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat them in the microwave for a quick and easy meal.
