Ingredients

• 300 grams Broccoli florets
• 4 pieces Eggs
• 60 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the broccoli and chop it into bite-sized florets.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and blanch the broccoli florets for 3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to the eggs.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using red pepper flakes, add them at this stage.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, then pour the whisked eggs over the broccoli in the skillet. Let the mixture cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to set the bottom.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the eggs and broccoli.

Step 8

Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the mixture as it continues to cook, ensuring the eggs are fluffy and fully cooked without overcooking the broccoli.

Step 9

Once the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Serve the Broccoli Egg Parmesan warm. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs if desired.
