nonstick cooking spray
Bring a small amount of water to a boil in a small saucepan, when it boils add the broccoli and blanch for 2 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and drain
1 ½ cups broccoli florets
In a medium bowl (or large measuring cup for easy pouring) beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
8 eggs, 3 tablespoons milk, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper
Cut each piece of cheese into fourths.
6 slices cheddar cheese
Divide the broccoli between muffin cups, then fill with equal amount of the egg mixture, top with 2 pieces of cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until eggs are set.
Let cool about 5 minutes, then loosen edges of each muffin with a knife, remove from muffin pan.

Notes

Reheat in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds.

Do not overfill the muffin cups because the eggs puff up while cooking and then deflate after they come out of the oven.

Blanching is a cooking process where a food, usually a vegetable or fruit, is scalded in boiling water, removed after a brief, timed interval, and finally plunged into ice water or placed under cold running water to stop the cooking process.

I use sliced cheese so there's an even amount of cheese on top of each egg bite. You can use 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese per egg bite instead.
