Ingredients

• Butter, for ramekins
• Coarse salt
• 1/2 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli florets
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• Ground pepper
• 1/16 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (3 ounces)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-ounce ramekins (or a 9-inch pie dish); set aside. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook 1 minute. Drain well; transfer to a cutting board, and blot dry with paper towels. Chop coarsely.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in broccoli and cheese.

3. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Ladle broccoli mixture into ramekins, dividing evenly. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a mixed-green salad, if desired.
