Egg and broccoli spread: A colorful twist on breakfast classics
Among sandwich spreads the classic egg spread has garnered a large fan base. However, it's worth adding a vegetable to enhance its taste and color. This simple addition can transform your breakfasts from mundane to memorable.
When we think of breakfast, sandwiches are often the first thing that comes to mind. Some people enjoy them with cheese and ham, while others prefer egg spread or pâté. However, vegetables are frequently missing from these meals, even though they should be a staple at every meal. Egg and broccoli spread offers an easy way to incorporate one of the recommended servings of vegetables with minimal effort.
Egg and broccoli spread
Egg and broccoli spread is a tasty and healthy option for breakfast, lunch, or even a snack. It's an excellent way to add vegetables to your diet, especially if you're not a fan of their typical taste. The combination with eggs makes it simple to add broccoli to your menu in a more appealing manner. Even picky eaters have been charmed by these Hulk-green sandwiches.
Broccoli is rich in vitamins (C, K, A), minerals (potassium, calcium, iron), fiber, and antioxidants. Cooked broccoli keeps most of its nutritional value and is easier to digest than when it's raw. Additionally, this spread includes healthy ingredients like eggs, chives, and mayonnaise.
Choose mayonnaise with a good composition, preferably made with eggs and canola oil. You can also substitute natural or Greek yogurt to lower the calorie content.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of broccoli
- 3 eggs
- 1 clove of garlic
- chives
- 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise

Preparation method:
- Divide the broccoli into smaller florets and place them in boiling water. Cook for 2-4 minutes until the broccoli is al dente.

- Add mayonnaise, natural yogurt, and garlic pressed through a garlic press. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
