Egg Broccoli and Ham Muffins

 

What better way to start the day than with a nourishing and immunity supporting breakfast! For a veggie version, replace the ham with feta.

 

Here's what you'll need:

• ½ broccoli

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 5 eggs
• pinch of chili flakes, optional
• 4 slices ham, chopped
• ⅓ cup (30g) grated cheese

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).
2. Place the broccoli in a pot of boiling water and cook for approximately 3 minutes. Strain and cut into small pieces.
3. Beat the eggs in a medium size bowl, add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper, and chili flakes if using.
4. Grease a 6-mould muffin tray with oil or butter, and fill the moulds with evenly divided broccoli, ham, and grated cheese. Pour the beaten eggs into the moulds and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until eggs have set.

 

Vegetarian option: Replace the ham with feta cheese, Goats cheese or your favourite vegetables.

Top tip! Garlic should be crushed or sliced prior to cooking in order to ensure maximum allicin production, since allicin is responsible for many of garlic’s beneficial effects.
