Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli florets
- 3/4 cup sliced fresh button mushrooms
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 2 green onions, sliced thin, green tops included
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- 1 cup diced cooked ham
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup finely-shredded Cheddar cheese
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a shallow 1-1/2-quart casserole dish with vegetable oil.
Saute broccoli, mushrooms, red bell peppers, and green onions in the butter until barely cooked. They should remain firm and colorful. Remove from heat and stir in ham. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, water, Dijon mustard, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and salt until well-combined. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the sauteed vegetables and ham over the top of the eggs, then sprinkle with the Cheddar cheese.
Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, until center is set. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
