Ingredients:

Serving

1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets (i roughly chopped mine instead)
10 eggs
2 cups half-and-half cream
1/4 cup swiss cheese, shredded
1 tbsp fresh parsley, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh basil, minced (i used dried basil)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

Directions:

Grease six 8-oz. ramekins; set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large saucepan, bring 3 cups water to a boil. Add broccoli; cover and boil for 3 minutes. (I used the microwave - Place broccoli in a microwave safe dish and add about a 1/2 cup water and cook on HIGH for 3 minutes). Drain and immediately place broccoli in ice water. Drain and pat dry.
In a large bowl, whisk 4 eggs, cream, cheese, parsley, salt, basil and cayenne; pour into prepared dishes. Break an additional egg into each dish; place broccoli around each egg.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until set.
