Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

6 large eggs

½ cup milk

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

¼ tsp black pepper

Salt to taste

1 cup of cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (optional)

1 tablespoon olive oil

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for garnish)

Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Broccoli: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped broccoli and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and let cool.

      Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Add the sautéed broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled sausage (if using) into the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the breakfast cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges and removing them. Serve warm, garnished with halved cherry tomatoes and chopped chives or parsley.

                Enjoy: Your delightful Golden Cheddar Broccoli Breakfast Cups are ready to be enjoyed! These can be served as a quick breakfast or a delicious on-the-go snack.
