Ingredients

• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (optional, for dusting tin)
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Optionally, dust with all-purpose flour for easy release.

Step 3

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2 minutes. Drain, chop into small pieces, and set aside.

Step 4

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using) until well combined.

Step 6

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped broccoli, and sautéed onion-garlic mixture.

Step 7

Divide the egg mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche muffins are puffed up and golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Step 10

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating as needed in the microwave.
