Cheesy Broccoli Breakfast Bake

Ingredients

- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the other ingredients.

2. Prep Broccoli*: Steam or microwave the broccoli florets for about 3 minutes or until slightly tender. *Tip: To preserve vibrant color, immediately rinse under cold water.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients*: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth. *Pro Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is well-softened to avoid lumps.

4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture. Stir until fully combined.

5. Combine with Rice and Cheeses: Fold in the cooked rice, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and broccoli florets. Mix gently to evenly distribute ingredients.

6. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixed ingredients into the dish, spreading evenly.

7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set in the center.

8. Serve: Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing into servings. Enjoy this hearty dish warm.
