BROCCOLI CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Low-Carb Broccoli Cheese Breakfast Casserole is a classic breakfast casserole with eggs, broccoli, and three kinds of cheese!
INGREDIENTS
- 12 eggs, beaten with a fork
- 2 T cream, half and half, or milk
- 1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (Or use any all-purpose seasoning that’s good with eggs.)
- fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup grated Swiss cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (see notes)
Hands Free Mode:
Prevent screen from sleeping
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Spray a glass casserole dish with nonstick spray. (I use 7.25 X 11.25 inch pan for this size, but it can be a little larger if you don’t have that size.)
- Cut broccoli into flowerets about 1 inch across.
- Put broccoli into pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils and broccoli turns bright green (less than 5 minutes) immediately drain broccoli into colander.
- While broccoli cools, break eggs into mixing bowl. Add milk or half and half, Spike Seasoning (affiliate link), and black pepper and beat eggs until ingredients are well combined.
- Put the well-drained broccoli into casserole dish. Sprinkle cheeses over broccoli.
- Pour eggs over broccoli-cheese, then use a fork to gently stir so that broccoli and cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the eggs.
- Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes, or until top is slightly browned and eggs puff up slightly.
- Serve hot, with sour cream if desired.
- This will keep in the fridge for several days and can be reheated in the microwave or in a hot frying pan.
NOTES
You can read more here about Spike Seasoning if you’re not familiar with it; use any all purpose seasoning mix you have. You can use 3/4 cup of any cheese, and use more cheese if you prefer! Sometimes I skip adding the cream, half and half, or milk, your choice on that!
This recipe was created by Kalyn, with memories of Grandma Denny’s Broccoli Cheese Casserole. You can find the original version that makes 8-12 servings here.
