Ingredients:

• 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets

• Water, for blanching

• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced

• 1 bell pepper, sliced

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1/2 teaspoon basil, dried

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 4 eggs

• 1 cup (200 ml) cream

• 100 grams (1 cup) Parmesan cheese, grated, plus extra for topping

• Extra basil and Parmesan cheese for garnish

Preparation:

1. Blanch the Broccoli: Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 10 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and bell pepper. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the onions are translucent.

3. Add Broccoli and Seasonings: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the blanched broccoli to the skillet. Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Halfway through, add the minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, mixing well to distribute the flavors.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with a bit more salt and black pepper. Pour this mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, stirring gently to combine everything.

5. Finish Cooking: Allow the egg and cream mixture to cook over low heat until the eggs are set and everything is nicely combined, about 7-10 minutes.

6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese and a bit of dried basil over the top just before serving.
