When these first were baked I wasn’t quite sure. Broccoli baked often has a very, very strong smell. Once chilled though, the heavy aroma is gone. These broccoli parmesan egg muffins make a quick, portable and tasty breakfast. Figure 3 to 4 per serving, unless served with other items.
One note: if you have premium cupcake liners, use them. The egg sticks quite a bit to even non stick muffin tins. To pop out, use a plastic or nylon knife, run around the edge and pop out.
