  • 2 Tablespoons Purple Onion , chopped
  • 3 Cups Broccoli , roughly into small pieces
  • 6 Eggs

  • ¼ Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1 Cup Half & Half
  • 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  • In a large pan melt the butter and saute the onion until soft, then add the broccoli and cook for a couple minutes until tender.
  • Remove from heat and add to the baking dish, making sure to create an even layer.
    Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl whisk the eggs with the salt and black pepper until well combined.
