BROCCOLI AND EGG SANDWICH



Broccoli and Egg Sandwich image

This was a specialty of my Grandma's. I remember when I was a kid she would sometimes make this for my mom to take for her lunch at work. Eventually Gram wound up sending about 6 sandwishes everytime because my mom's coworkers all wanted it when they smelled it. Grandma didn't measure anything, so these are estimates.

BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR EGG SANDWICHES



Broccoli and Cheddar Egg Sandwiches image

The easiest breakfast to meal prep is hands down an egg sandwich, and you can create all different varieties. My classic freezer egg sandwiches feature sausage, egg and cheese, but these broccoli and cheddar egg sandwiches are a great twist on the classic. I bake eggs, egg whites, cheese, and fresh broccoli into a quiche, and then cut it into six servings. Assembled with light English muffins and frozen individually, these are a great vegetarian option for breakfast, and the perfect way to incorporate some extra veggies into your day.

BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR EGG SANDWICHES



Broccoli-Cheddar Egg Sandwiches image

These egg sandwiches have been a life saver in our house! They are a great way to get both protein and some veggies into everyone before we all rush off in different directions. If broccoli isn't your thing you could easily replace it with spinach, bell peppers, or really any other vegetable you like.

Provided by Jessica Braider

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups broccoli florets, fresh or frozen, (steamed and chopped)
8 eggs
3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup low fat milk (or use any variety)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
6 whole wheat English muffins (use wheat/gluten-free, if needed)
1 Tbsp. butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray or grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, steam the broccoli in the microwave for 3 minutes uncovered, or until softened. While the broccoli steams, crack the eggs into a large bowl and beat.
  • Once the broccoli is done, roughly chop it and add it to the eggs along with the cheese, milk, salt, and black pepper.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and cook for 25 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through.
  • Toast the English muffins and butter them, if desired. Allow the eggs and English muffins to cool completely.
  • Once the eggs are cool, use a round cookie cutter or a glass that's about the size of the English muffins, cut the egg into rounds (save the scraps to make a bonus sandwich, if desired).
  • Assemble the sandwiches by putting one egg round between two English muffin halves, then wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil and store in the refrigerator for 3 days or the freezer for 3 months.
  • To warm or defrost the sandwiches, remove them from the aluminum foil, wrap them in a damp piece of paper towel, place on a plate, and microwave for 1 - 1 ½ minutes, or until warmed through.

Categories     Egg     Broccoli     Pepper     Green Onion/Scallion     Mayonnaise     Dill     Mustard     Sesame     Summer     Fall     Lunch     Dinner     Vegetarian     Vegetable     Labor Day

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 large eggs
1½ lb. broccoli (about 3 small heads), cut into florets
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided, plus more
1 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more
2 pickles, finely chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
½ cup mayonnaise
1 Tbsp. chopped dill
2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1-2 Tbsp. chili crisp (such as Fly by Jing, Lao Gan Ma, or homemade)
1 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
Country-style bread, sourdough, or flatbread (for serving)

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower eggs into water with a slotted spoon and cook 8 minutes for medium-cooked or 9 minutes for hard-cooked. Transfer eggs with slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water and let cool.
  • Prepare a grill for high heat. (Or, heat a grill pan over high.) Place broccoli in a large bowl, drizzle with oil, and sprinkle 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper over; toss to coat. Grill, undisturbed, until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on opposite side until charred in spots and broccoli is just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Peel eggs and coarsely chop; transfer to a medium bowl. Add pickles, scallions, mayonnaise, dill, mustard, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper and mix well. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • To serve, spoon egg salad on a platter and arrange broccoli on top. Drizzle with chili crisp as desired, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with bread.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh broccoli and eggs will give your sandwich the best flavor. Look for broccoli that is deep green and has tightly closed florets. Use large, fresh eggs for the best results.
  • Cook the broccoli properly: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. This will help it retain its nutrients and give your sandwich a great texture. You can cook the broccoli in a steamer, in a skillet, or in the microwave.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your sandwich. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a flavor that you enjoy. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and provolone.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a broccoli and egg sandwich. You can add other ingredients, such as bacon, ham, or avocado. You can also change up the type of bread you use. Get creative and find a combination that you love.

Conclusion:

A broccoli and egg sandwich is a delicious and nutritious breakfast or lunch option. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is packed with flavor and nutrients. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give a broccoli and egg sandwich a try.
