Ingredients

  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat shredded cheddar
  • 1/4 cup Pecorino romano or Parmesan cheese
  • 4 whole large eggs
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt and fresh pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and let it warm up while you prep.
  • Steam the broccoli with a splash of water for 3 to 5 minutes—just until it’s tender.
  • Once it’s done, break the broccoli into smaller pieces. Toss it with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and some pepper. Give it a good mix.
  • Spray a regular non-stick muffin tin (you’ll need 9 cups) really well with cooking spray, then divide the broccoli mixture evenly into the tins.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, grated cheese, and a bit more salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli in each cup—fill them up a little more than 3/4 of the way.
  • Sprinkle the tops with shredded cheddar, pop the tray in the oven, and bake for about 20 minutes, or until they’re fully set.
  • Serve warm and enjoy right away!
  • If you have leftovers, wrap them up in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge—they’re perfect for quick meals during the week.
