Breadfruit Broccoli Eggs photo bbeggs2_zpsfgsspnoh.png

I. Love. Broccoli. I eat the stems raw after removing the fibrous outer skin, and steam the moss-like heads and eat them just like that. Whenever I steam broccoli (which is often), I always leave back a few florets to cook with eggs. Sometimes it's fried eggs with broccoli and other times, I add cheese to the mix. So good!

To keep the broccoli green after steaming, and for this fry up, here is what to do:


  • Add water to a saucepan and insert a steam rack (metal racks are for perfect for this). Cover pot, place over medium heat, and bring to a boil.
  • Drop in broccoli, cover and steam for 4 minutes - longer if you like your broccoli softer.
  • Remove broccoli and place on wire rack to cool. Leaving the broccoli in the hot pot even with the heat turned off will continue to cook the broccoli - it will turn to mush in your mouth when eaten and dull green, in colour.
