Ingredients

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1.5 cups diced ham
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon oil or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

If using fresh broccoli, steam the florets for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still bright green. If using frozen broccoli, thaw it and pat dry.

Step 3

Spread the broccoli florets evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

Sprinkle the diced ham over the broccoli, followed by 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese (reserve the remaining 0.5 cup for later).

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the broccoli, ham, and cheese in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. This will make slicing easier.

Step 10

Cut into squares and serve warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
