  • Add a layer of cheese over the broccoli (you can really add as much as you like) and then add the crumbled bacon spread evenly over the cheese.
  • Whisk the eggs and heavy cream together in a large mixing bowl with onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, and oregano. Season with salt and ground black pepper, to taste.
  • Gently pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, cheddar, and bacon.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until it's set, and the cheese looks lightly golden brown on top.Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
