LOW-carb ๐ฅฆ Broccoli and Mozzarella Casserole
Tender broccoli, soft eggs and melted mozzarella, finished with juicy cherry tomatoes and Italian herbs. Simple ingredients for a delicious, comforting meal.
๐ Ingredients
โข 10.6โ12.3 oz broccoli
โข 4 eggs
โข 3.5 oz mozzarella, coarsely grated
โข 4โ5 cherry tomatoes, halved
โข Salt, to taste
โข Black pepper, to taste
โข Italian herbs, to taste
๐ฅ Letโs make it
1๏ธโฃ Cut the broccoli into florets. Add to boiling water and blanch for 1ยฝโ2 minutes after the water returns to a boil. Transfer to cold water, then drain and dry thoroughly.
2๏ธโฃ Preheat the oven to 350ยฐF. Line a black loaf pan with plain parchment and arrange the broccoli evenly inside.
3๏ธโฃ Crack the four eggs over the broccoli. Season with salt and black pepper, add most of the grated mozzarella, then gently mix so the eggs and cheese settle around the florets.
4๏ธโฃ Place the cherry tomato halves over the top. Add the remaining mozzarella and a light sprinkle of Italian herbs.
5๏ธโฃ Bake for about 20 minutes, then check the center. With tomatoes, allow another 5โ10 minutes if needed because they release moisture. The eggs should be fully set with no liquid center, and the cheese melted and lightly golden.
6๏ธโฃ Remove from the oven and let the casserole settle briefly. Lift it out with the parchment, cut into portions and serve warm.
