How to Make Easy Cheesy Broccoli Muffins

Start by preheating the oven to 375°F. Grease a muffin pan or spray it well with cooking spray.
Steam the broccoli until tender. Let it cool slightly, then finely chop it. If the broccoli is particularly wet, gently blot away any excess moisture.
1 Cup Broccoli
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the chopped broccoli, shredded cheese, pepper, garlic salt, and flour. Stir until everything is well combined.

Tips for Making These

Chop the broccoli finely. Smaller pieces distribute throughout the muffins and make them easier to eat.

Drain excess moisture. If your steamed broccoli is very wet, removing some of the moisture will help keep the muffins from becoming soggy.

Try different cheeses. Cheddar and Parmesan are my favorites, but a combination of cheeses can be delicious too. Monterey Jack or Colby would also work well.

Watch the baking time. Since these are small muffins, they don't need a long time in the oven. Start checking around 15 minutes.
