Ingredients
1⁄2 cup roughly chopped broccoli florets
5 large eggs

Pinch of red chili flakes, optional
4 slices deli ham, chopped
1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. Place the broccoli in a pot of boiling water and simmer until tender, about 3 minutes. Strain and set aside the broccoli to cool slightly.
