Cheddar Broccoli Egg Muffins are the perfect breakfast you can easily make for yourself and your family. They are packed full of nutrients to get your body started in the morning, and they are delicious.
Why are these cheddar broccoli egg muffins Good4You?
Eggs are filled with most of the nutrients your body needs everyday to promote a healthy diet (protein, iron, vitamins & minerals). Adding the goodness of low calorie broccoli just enhances the goodness of this muffin. Broccoli is high in Vitamins C & K, fibre, iron & potassium. It also contains some protein, which is unusual for most vegetables. The final ingredient, sharp cheddar cheese, provides the calcium your body needs to promote strong bone health, along with some Vitamin A and phosphorus. Just remember that cheese is also high in fat, so you don’t want to overdo a good thing.
To round out your breakfast, add your favourite fresh fruit, perhaps some blueberries, strawberries, or even melons.
Need a shortcut for your morning feast?
Try steaming and chopping the broccoli the night before (sealed in a container) so it’s ready to add to the eggs in the morning. Shred the cheese and keep it in a zipped bag. Combining the ingredients will be quick and easy, and they’ll be cooked by the time your coffee is ready and your juice is poured. Any leftovers can be frozen, but we don’t think you’ll need this option. These cheddar broccoli egg muffins are too tasty to resist. Enjoy!!
