BROCCOLI, CHEDDAR & HAM BREAKFAST MUFFINS

Hello to our herd!

The recipe i'm sharing today might just be one of my favorites.

BROCCOLI CHEDDAR AND HAM BREAKFAST MUFFINS.

I've also made this with bacon and sausage but the ham is my preferred combo.


As always, the recipe is easy, its' just a bit more time consuming and hands on than most of my other recipes. But definitely worth it. Promise.

If you have a large family, I recommend making a double batch and storing some in the freezer.

If it's just two of you, like Keith and I, I like to split the batch and put half in the freezer and half in the fridge. They will keep in an air tight container for 3-4 weeks without getting frosty.


I mean, just take a look at these. 👀

INGREDIENTS

  • 1-2 tablespoons oil, I like to use avocado or evoo

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 cups broccoli (~1 large head), diced

  • 2# ham, cubed

  • 8 eggs

  • 4 ounces raw cheddar cheese, grated

  • 1.5 cups almond flour *see notes

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup milk of choice *see notes

  • Maldon salt, for garnish

  • Green onion, for garnish


DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Dice the onion and broccoli. Cube the ham. Grate the cheese.

  2. In a pan over medium heat, add oil, onion and broccoli. Sautee until soft and fragrant (~5 mintues). Remove from heat.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat vigorously. Add in the milk, broccoli + onion mixture, ham, cheese (reserve 1/4 cup for topping), garlic powder, salt, baking powder and almond flour. Stir to combine.

  4. Using a large muffin/cookie scoop, scoop into lined muffin tins. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

  5. Let cool, garnish with flaky maldon salt and green onion. ENJOY!


NOTES

  • Depending on the size of your eggs, you might need to add a bit more almond flour if it's too liquidy. I recommend 1 tablespoon at a time.

  • If you are like me and never have milk on hand, a greek based yogurt + water works great.

  • These store great in a sealed glass container. I recommend removing the muffin liners before freezing to make it easier. Will store for 3-4 weeks before getting frosty tops.



Hope you all are having a happy day!
