Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup broccoli florets
8 large eggs
1½ tablespoons chopped fresh herbs like rosemary thyme, and parsley
½ cup grape tomatoes halved or quartered
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese or Asiago Cheese
kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 inch casserole dish or 4 individual ramekins well with the butter, or spray them with nonstick cooking spray.
Steam the broccoli in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Drain well and coarsely chop it. Set it aside for a few minutes.
Crack the eggs in the dish and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, and Italian parsley.
Bake the eggs for about 10 minutes or until starting to set. Carefully sprinkle the top of the eggs with steamed broccoli, tomatoes, and grated Parmesan Cheese.
Bake for another 5 minutes or until the whites are set. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more fresh herbs. Season with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. For best results, serve promptly.

Notes

Grease the baking dish well. Eggs tend to stick, so you want them to release easily.
Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, but remember that they will continue to cook for a few minutes outside the oven. I like my yolks runny, but you can cook them longer for firmer yolks.
There are lots of fresh vegetables that add flavor to eggs. Look inside your fridge and see what you have. Just remember that some veggies may need to be sauteed or steamed.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power.
