Ham and Broccoli Casserole (Milk)

hambroccolicasserolemilk Cheesy Ham Broccoli Casserole with eggs, a healthy, low carb recipe for a delicious brunch. It's light, but filling, jam-packed with fantastic flavours, the perfect recipe after an epic feast like Thanksgiving or Christmas. The leftover ham can be replaced with turkey, chicken or beef, or omitted, for a vegetarian version. This broccoli bake is my absolute favourite side dish.

3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
1 cup ham (deli or leftover ham)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
5 eggs
¼ cup milk
¼ tsp. sea salt
⅛ tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
1 Tbsp. butter, for greasing

Preheat an oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4).

Add the broccoli florets to a pan with salted water and bring to a boil.

Cook for 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is slightly tender, then drain the water well.

Butter an oven-proof dish, the add the cooked broccoli florets.

Cut the ham into cubes, and add it to the broccoli.

Top with the grated cheese.

In a bowl, beat the eggs, add the milk, salt and pepper and give it a good stir.

Pour it over the other ingredients.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the egg is cooked, and the cheese is melted.
