Ingredients
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 375 mL (1 ½ cups) chopped cooked broccoli
- 125 mL (½ cup) shredded lower fat old Cheddar or Swiss cheese
- 60 mL (¼ cup) chopped cooked turkey
- 30 mL (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley
- 190 mL (¾ cup) skim milk
- 3 eggs
- 5 mL (1 tsp) Dijon mustard
- Pinch of ground black pepper
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F).
- Cut bread into 1 cm (½ inch) cubes using a serrated knife and place in a large bowl. Mix in broccoli, cheese, turkey and parsley. Divide among four 250 mL (1 cup) ovenproof ramekins or bowls, and place on a small baking sheet.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, mustard, and pepper until well combined. Gently pour over top of each bread mixture; press down gently with a fork so the bread absorbs the egg mixture. Let stand for 15 minutes or alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until puffed and edges are golden, and a knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Use a digital food thermometer to check that the eggs have reached an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).
Tips
- Invite your little chefs into the kitchen. They can tear bread into pieces with their hands, grate cheese, and whisk the egg mixture and pour it over the bread mixture.
- Mix up the vegetables. Swap out broccoli for cauliflower, red peppers or mushrooms.
- If you don't have small ramekins, you can pour mixture in paper-lined muffin tins or in a small baking dish.
- Want to make this recipe vegetarian? Just leave out the turkey.
