Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh broccoli florets, finely chopped

4 large eggs

½ cup milk (can substitute with plant-based milk)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

4 slices of whole grain bread (or your preferred type)

Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a muffin tin with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking.

    Blanch the Broccoli: In a small pot, bring approximately 2 cups of water to a vigorous boil. Carefully add the finely chopped broccoli florets and blanch them for about 2 minutes until they turn vibrant green. Drain the broccoli and immediately rinse it under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set the broccoli aside to drain completely.

      Create the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack open the eggs and whisk them together until combined. Then, whisk in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and even. Fold in the drained broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is incorporated.

        Fill the Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the egg mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cavity about three-quarters full. This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing during baking.

          Bake the Muffins: Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins have risen and are lightly golden on top. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.

            Toast the Bread: While the muffins are baking, toast your slices of bread in a toaster or under the broiler until they are golden brown and crispy, achieving a delightful crunch.

              Assemble the Toasts: After the muffins are finished baking, allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before gently removing them. Place one mini broccoli egg muffin on top of each slice of toasted bread. If you prefer smaller servings, feel free to cut the toasts in half.

                Serve and Enjoy: These delightful toasts are best enjoyed warm! Consider adding a few drops of your favorite hot sauce or a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for an extra kick of flavor. Perfect for a hearty breakfast or a satisfying snack any time of the day!
