Baked Eggs With Broccoli, Cheese, and Ham

Easy cheesy egg goodness that is gluten free and perfect for a lazy weekend. Broccoli and cheese has been a traditional combo for a while now, it just goes together really well. I like to add in ham and line the pan with thin potato slices for extra deliciousness. It can serve 6. Goes well with iced green matcha or cold brew. 

Ingredients:

• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 4 slices of deli ham thinly cut 
• 1 tsp sea salt 
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 small head of broccoli chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 large russet potato thinly sliced into rounds
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• Baking spray or butter for greasing pan
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning or fresh herbs like basil and oregano

Directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F
2. In an 8x10 Pyrex baking dish or regular sized Pyrex pie pan spray of coating or layer of grease. I use butter sometimes or just a typical Pam spray.
3. Into your greased dish line the bottom and edges with potato slices almost like a crust layer. 
4. On top of the potato slices evenly sprinkle chopped broccoli and chopped ham slices.
5. In a bowl add 5 eggs, cream, and seasonings. Gently whip together for only about 30 seconds. It doesn't have to be perfectly mixed together. 
6. Pour egg mixture over the top of the potatoes, broccoli, and ham in the baking dish. 
7. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top of raw egg mixture. 
8. Bake in the center of the oven for 35-40 minutes until the eggs no longer look runny and seem set. You don't want it to get overly brown or it will taste over cooked.
9. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. 

*You can make the egg dish ahead of time just don't put a cold glass pan in a hot oven. I have forgotten before and done this  and blown my baking dishes in the oven. So just allow the dish to come to room temperature before baking if made the day before.
