I used Swiss cheese for my hubby and low-fat cheddar for myself and the kids. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
Ingredients:
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets (i roughly chopped mine instead)
10 eggs
2 cups half-and-half cream
1/4 cup swiss cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh basil, minced (i used dried basil)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
1. Grease six 8-oz. ramekins; set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add broccoli; cover and boil for 3 minutes. (I used the microwave - Place broccoli in a microwave safe dish and add about a 1/2 cup water and cook on HIGH for 3 minutes). Drain and immediately place broccoli in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
3. In a large bowl, whisk 4 eggs, cream, cheese, parsley, salt, basil and cayenne; pour into prepared dishes. Break an additional egg into each dish; place broccoli around each egg.
4. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until set.
