#### Instructions
1. **Preheat Oven:** Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone liners.
2. **Prepare Broccoli:** Steam the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender. Avoid overcooking to keep the texture intact.
3. **Mix Ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, heavy cream (or almond milk), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the steamed broccoli and shredded cheese until well combined.
4. **Fill Muffin Tin:** Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
5. **Bake:** Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the egg bites are puffed and golden on top. Insert a toothpick in the center to check doneness; it should come out clean.
6. **Cool and Serve:** Let the egg bites cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or store them in the refrigerator for a grab-and-go snack throughout the week.
#### Tips and Variations
* **Make it Spicy:** Add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños to the mix for a spicy kick.
* **Add Protein:** Include cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier bite.
* **Dairy-Free Option:** Substitute cheese with nutritional yeast and use coconut milk instead of cream.
