Best Brunch Dish!

Do you ever need to throw something together to serve company for brunch and go looking through the fridge to see what you have? Well, that was me today. And it came out....so delish! Everyone loved it! Who doesn't love eggs, broccoli and cheese? Well combining them all and throwing in a few other staples makes for a delicious brunch casserole! I whipped it up in 5 minutes, threw it in the oven, and 45 minutes later...voila! Try this the next time you are having company, or you are having breakfast for dinner, which is my kids favorite night! Couldn't be easier, or yummier!

Ingredients:

• 1 dozen eggs
• 1 bag fresh broccoli (I used Trader Joe's)
• 1 cup fat-free half and half or milk
• 6 slices bread-buttermilk, sourdough, french, challah...whatever!! Cube it up, should have about 2-3 cups, doesn't have to be exact!! The less bread, the eggier it will be. The more bread, the denser it will be. You pick!
• salt, pepper, garlic powder
• 1 cup shredded cheese-cheddar, jack or mixed

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Snip the corner off the bag of broccoli and microwave for 3 minutes, or steam. 
• Beat the eggs with the milk/creamer and add 1 tsp salt and about 1/2 tsp each fresh ground pepper and garlic powder. 
• Add cheese to egg mixture.
• In a baking dish greased or sprayed, put the cooked broccoli on the bottom. 
• Then add the bread that has been cut up or torn into pieces. 
• Pour the egg/milk/cheese mixture over the top and use a spatula to toss all ingredients right in the baking dish-how easy is that????
• Let sit for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours, covered on counter.
• Bake at 350 uncovered for 45 minutes until golden and delicious.
• Cut into squares and serve.

Eat and enjoy!!!!
