Crack 6 or 7 eggs into a bowl.

Add a couple dashes of salt and pepper per egg.

Chop broccoli into smaller pieces or 'broccoli dust'.

Boil water and blanch the broccoli for about 5 minutes.

Add the blanched broccoli to the eggs and mix well.

Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray.

Pour the broccoli and egg mixture into the muffin cups, filling them not too full.

Grate cheese and add it to the mixture, about the same amount as needed for roofing shingles.

Bake in the oven for 13 to 18 minutes until they puff up and are no longer jiggly.

For a second batch, crack more eggs and repeat the process with new ingredients: chopped tomato, chives, and crumbled feta cheese.

Spray the muffin tin again and pour the new mixture into the cups.

Bake again until done.

For a third batch, crack more eggs, add salt, pepper, ham, green onion, and asiago cheese, then mix and pour into the muffin cups.

Bake until done.

Spread mayonnaise on the finished egg bites to resemble frosted cupcakes.
