Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

4 large eggs

1/4 cup whole milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you’re using muffin liners, line a 12-cup muffin tin; if not, spray the tin with cooking spray.

    Prepare the Broccoli: Steam the finely chopped broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still bright green. Allow them to cool slightly.

      Whisk the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add the whole milk. Whisk until fully combined.

        Season the Mixture: Add the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the egg mixture. Stir until all the seasonings are evenly distributed.

          Combine Ingredients: Fold in the steamed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon or sausage, if using. Mix gently to ensure the broccoli and cheese are evenly incorporated.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the egg and broccoli mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Make sure to distribute the mixture evenly among the cups.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Let the breakfast cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of freshly chopped chives or parsley.

                  Enjoy: These Golden Cheddar Broccoli Breakfast Cups can be served warm or at room temperature. Perfect for breakfast or as a grab-and-go snack!
