Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups broccoli cooked bite-sized florets (steamed or boiled)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup Provolone cheese grated
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ½ cup feta cheese crumbles
  • 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Grater
  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Whisk
  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a crucial step, as a properly heated oven ensures even cooking and browning for your bake.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Provolone, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. You want to achieve a smooth, well-combined mixture. Take a moment to enjoy the aroma of the ingredients blending.
  3. Now, take a 9 x 6 inch casserole dish and place the cooked broccoli in it. Spread it out evenly so that every bite will be delicious.
  4. Sprinkle the feta cheese crumbles on top of the broccoli. This will add a salty and tangy layer to your dish.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli and feta. Use a fork to gently even out the mixture, ensuring that the egg-cheese blend covers all the broccoli florets.
  6. Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. You’ll notice a lovely aroma wafting through your kitchen as it bakes!
  7. Once it’s done, take the bake out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This cooling time helps it set properly, making it easier to cut into portions.
  8. Slice into squares and serve warm. It’s perfect on its own or paired with a fresh salad!
  9. Enjoy your delicious Breakfast Broccoli Bake with family and friends. Share the joy of this dish!
