Method

  1. Separate broccoli florets from the stem and wash well. Peel the stalks and cut into sticks.
  2. Cook broccoli in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well. Heat some oil in a frying pan, add the onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 1 minute. Then add the broccoli and ham. Cook for another minute, then tip into a bowl. Add the eggs to the bowl.
  3. Heat the grill. Wipe out the frying pan with a piece of kitchen paper. Add a little olive oil and heat.
  4. Tip the contents of the bowl into the frying pan, over the heat. Let it set for a minute without disturbing it, then lower the heat a bit and cook till the bottom is brown and crusty but the top still moist.
  5. Sprinkle a little cheese over the top, then put under a hot grill till it’s coloured on top.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve.
