🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First things first, get your mise en place ready. Wash and chop your broccoli into bite-sized florets. Grate your cheese – I prefer a sharp cheddar, but go wild!. Crack your eggs into a bowl and give them a good whisk. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Don't be shy with the pepper!
- Heat a tablespoon of olive oil (or butter, if you're feeling fancy) in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once it's shimmering, add your broccoli. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until it's tender-crisp. Don't overcook it, or it'll get mushy. We want some texture here!
- Now, gently push the broccoli to one side of the pan. In the empty space, pour in your whisked eggs. Let them cook for a minute or two, then start gently stirring with your spatula, incorporating the broccoli. Keep stirring until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist and creamy.
- Once the eggs are mostly cooked, sprinkle generously with your cheese. Stir gently until it melts and everything is beautifully combined. If it seems too dry add a tablespoon or two of milk or cream to get it to your desired consistency
- Once the cheese is melted and gooey, and the eggs have reached your desired consistency remove it from heat. Serve immediately. Enjoy the cheesy goodness!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder while sautéing the broccoli.
- If you like a little spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes!
