Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

6 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (optional)

Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.

    Prep the Broccoli: In a small bowl, steam the broccoli florets in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes until tender but still bright green. Let them cool slightly, then chop finely.

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

        Combine Ingredients: Stir in the finely chopped broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon (if using) into the egg mixture. Mix until everything is evenly coated.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 of the way full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the egg is set and the tops are golden brown.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully use a knife to loosen the edges, then pop the breakfast cups out of the tin. Serve warm.

                Enjoy: These Golden Cheddar Broccoli Breakfast Cups are perfect for a quick breakfast or a hearty snack throughout the day!
