Ingredients

5 eggs, 2 servings of egg whites, 1/2 cup of heavy cream1/4 cup parmesan cheese2 ounces of onions for sauteeing1.5 cups of broccoli (steam for a short time, approx 2 minutes)cooking spray1 tbspn butter1/4 cup mexican cheese blendsalt/pepper to tastegreen onions optional (as garnish)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 365 degrees. Combine eggs, parmesan cheese, cream, egg whites, broccoli and salt/pepper to taste in a large mixing bowl and mix well. For one dish cooking, spray a stovetop/oven safe casserole dish 10 inches or less (I use stainless steel - it doesn't stick :)) with cooking spray. Saute onions in one tbspn of butter for approx 5 minutes on med/high heat. Turn off the stove top and add egg mixture to the hot dish and bake for approximately 20 minutes. The dish will rise when done and look somewhat lumpy. Top the dish with the mexican blend cheese. Let the dish sit for approximately 2 minutes, cut and serve immediately. Once the dish sits for a couple of minutes it will fall but will be delicious.

Will make approximately six one-cup servings.

This dish is easy to adapt with different items, you can render bacon and add it to the dish before baking, or add additional veggies, maybe sliced mushrooms and/or cut asparagus. I also enjoy garnishing the dish with green onions after topping with cheese. Enjoy.
