Before you make this you may wish to read Basic Instructions for Low-Carb Breakfast Casseroles which has instructions for various sizes of pans and ingredient options for this type of breakfast casserole.

Ingredients:
18 eggs
1/4 cup milk or half and half
2 tsp. Spike seasoning
fresh ground black pepper to taste
4-5 cups fresh broccoli flowerets
1/2 cup grated low-fat swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated low-fat mozarella cheese
1-2 cups grated low-fat grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions
Preheat oven or toaster oven to 375 degrees. Spray a glass casserole dish with nonstick spray.  (Use a 10 X 14 inch casserole dish for this size.) 

Cut broccoli into flowerets about 1 inch across. Put broccoli into pot with enough water to cover and bring to a boil. As soon as the water boils and broccoli turns bright green (less than 5 minutes) immediately drain broccoli into colander.

While broccoli cools, break eggs into mixing bowl. Add milk or half and half, Spike seasoning, and black pepper and beat eggs until ingredients are well combined.

Put drained broccoli into casserole dish. Sprinkle cheeses over broccoli. Pour eggs over broccoli-cheese, then use a fork to gently stir so that broccoli and cheeses are evenly distributed throughout the eggs.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until top is slightly browned and eggs puff up slightly.
