All beautifully contrasted against a rustic table setting.

Fun fact: Broccoli is related to cabbage, kale, and cauliflower, they all belong to the same family - Brassica. You can make this recipe 'cheesier' by substituting feta with cheddar or make it 'meatier' by adding some bacon. Kids would love to assist in cracking and pouring the eggs into the little wells you create in the skillet.
