Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

6 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (whole or 2%)

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (red or green)

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil

Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften. Add the broccoli florets and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is vibrant green and just tender. Remove from heat and set aside.

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

        Combine Ingredients: Stir the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

          Bake the Squares: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg is set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

            Cool and Cut: Allow the egg bake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before slicing it into squares. This will help the squares hold their shape.

              Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Cheddar Broccoli Egg Bake Squares as a filling breakfast, brunch, or snack!
