Ingredients
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups chopped cooked broccoli
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Snipped fresh chives, for serving
- Lettuce or arugula leaves and tomato wedges, for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the broccoli, Cheddar and cayenne.
- Heat the oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the egg mixture and cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the center is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before sliding carefully onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges and transfer to serving plates. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with lettuce leaves and tomato wedges if using.
