I usually share a Meatless Monday recipe every Sunday, but this week if you’re looking for vegetarian recipes I’m going to have to send you to the Meatless Monday Index Page, because I just can’t wait another day to update this recipe for Broccoli, Ham, and Mozzarella Baked with Eggs.  You see, this recipe has gone crazy on Pinterest, which would be good except that every time I see the old photo I want to shudder. And I posted the recipe back in 2013 when I had a broken arm, so I’m ridiculously happy that I’ve finally taken better photos using two good arms.

I think trying to eat vegetables with every meal is one of the best healthy eating tips ever, and I’ve made this quite a few times to keep in the fridge for several days of tasty breakfasts. I’ve enjoyed it in a flatter version and also in the version in these photos which has a bit more broccoli, ham, and egg, and I’ll give a range in the recipe so you can decide which version you want. But if you like broccoli, ham, and mozzarella, give this a try; all those people on Pinterest seem to be liking it!

For this recipe use 1-2 cups of lean diced ham and about 1/3 cups green onions. I used 6 whole cups of barely-blanched broccoli, but you can get away with less.

Spray a 9×12″ casserole dish with non-stick spray and layer the broccoli and then the ham. Then put grated low-fat mozzarella and green onions over that. Season to taste with Spike Seasoning and fresh-ground black pepper. Beat the eggs and pour them over the other ingredients. Then use a fork to “stir” just until all the ingredients are coated with egg. Bake at 375F/190C for 35-45 minutes (depending on which version you choose and how done you like it.

Serve hot. Broccoli, Ham, and Mozzarella Baked with Eggs can be kept in the fridge for at least a week and reheated in the microwave.

Broccoli, Ham, and Mozzarella Baked with Eggs

Yield: 8 servings

Total Time: 50-60 minutes

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 35-45 minutes

Ingredients:

• 4-6 cups very small broccoli florets, blanched about 2 minutes, then drained well.
• 1-2 cups diced ham (1/2 – 1 lb.)
• 1 cup grated Mozzarella
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onion (optional, but good)
• 8-10 eggs, beaten well
• Spike Seasoning (or other all-purpose seasoning blend to taste, about 1 tsp)
• fresh-ground black pepper, to taste
• sour cream, for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375F/190C. Spray a 9″x12″ casserole dish with non-stick spray.  (The dish can be slightly smaller too, especially if you use the smaller amounts of ingredients.)
2. Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and cook the broccoli just 2 minutes; then pour into a colander placed in the sink and let it drain well. Dice the ham while the broccoli drains.
3. Layer broccoli, ham, Mozzarella, and green onions (if using) in casserole dish. Season with Spike Seasoning and fresh-ground black pepper and pour beaten egg over.
4. Use a fork to “stir” the mixture just until all the ingredients are coated with egg.  (It might look like there is not enough egg, but carry on!)
5. Bake 35-45 minutes, or until all the mixture is set and the top is starting to lightly brown. (If you use the higher amount of eggs, it will take the longer baking time, but start to check after about 30 minutes.)
6. Serve hot, with sour cream if desired. This can be kept in the fridge for at least a week and reheated in the microwave.

Notes:

I love Spike Seasoning for eggs, but use any all-purpose seasoning you like. This recipe was created by Kalyn.
