Broccoli Cheese Breakfast Casserole

 

Ingredients

Main ingredients
  • 12 large large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cream, half-and-half, or milk about 30 ml
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning such as an egg-friendly seasoning blend
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups broccoli florets about 300 g
  • 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese about 25 g
  • 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese about 25 g
  • 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese about 25 g
  • Nonstick cooking spray

Method

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a glass casserole dish (approximately 18 x 28 cm / 7 x 11 inches) with nonstick spray.
  2. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, about 2–3 cm (1 inch) across.
  3. Place the broccoli in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils and the broccoli turns bright green (less than 5 minutes), drain immediately in a colander.
  4. While the broccoli cools slightly, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the cream or milk, seasoning, and black pepper. Beat well until fully combined.
  5. Spread the well-drained broccoli evenly in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the Swiss, mozzarella, and cheddar cheeses over the broccoli.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and cheese. Use a fork to gently stir so everything is evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set, puffed, and the top is lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

This casserole can be stored in the refrigerator for several days and reheated easily in the microwave or in a lightly oiled pan, making it ideal for meal prep and quick breakfasts.
