Serves 7 people

Categories: breakfast, to try

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 onion, cubed
  • 1 garlic clove, sliced
  • a few pinches of red pepper flakes
  • 2 handfuls of broccoli florettes, cut into small pieces
  • 6 medium eggs (or 4 large)
  • a splash of milk
  • cooking spray
  • a few slices of thinly cut oven roasted turkey breast (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 380F

  2. Heat oil in a pan, add potatoes and cook until they are golden brown

  3. Add onions and garlic to the potatoes, season with salt and pepper and add a few pinches of red pepper flakes

  4. Cook the vegetables till they are tender (undercooked potatoes are horrible)

  5. Note: to help potatoes cook quicker, add a few tablespoons of water, cover the pot and let the vegetables steam

  6. Add a few handfuls of broccoli and cook a few more minutes

  7. Whisk the eggs and milk together (I did not have milk and used fat free half & half instead)

  8. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray, add vegetable mixture and top with some of the egg mixture

  9. Optional: first “line” the muffin tins with thinly sliced turkey breast (or ham) and then add the vegetables, followed by the egg mixture

  10. Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until the eggs are nearly set

  11. Top with shredded cheese and put the muffin tin under the broiler for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling

  12. Serve immediately
