EASY MICROWAVE BROCCOLI (OR
SPINACH) BRUNCH
 
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli (or spinach)
4 eggs (minus 2 yolks), or equivalent egg substitute
1/4 c. shredded (low-fat) Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp. onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp. milk or 1/2 tsp. butter plus water (from drained vegetables)
1/8 tsp. dried tarragon leaves, (optional)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Place broccoli in a 9-inch round baking dish. Cover. Microwave on high power until crisp-tender, about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring once. Drain. Beat all remaining ingredients together, then pour over broccoli. Elevate baking dish in the oven by placing it on an inverted saucer. Cover with wax paper. Microwave on 70% power for 4 to 5 minutes, or until center is almost set, stirring 2 or 3 times. Let stand, covered, 3 to 5 minutes before serving. Makes 2 to 3 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
