Broccoli, Ham, and Mozzarella Baked with Eggs

Got this off Pinterest.  It is VERY easy and very fast but you do have to take the time to chop the ham and blanch the broccoli for 2 min.  Otherwise, it goes together in a flash, is carb friendly, and fairly lowfat.   You can eat it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner  It's kid friendly too as long as the kids like broccoli.
Serves:8

4-6 c. very small broccoli flowerets, blanched about 2 min., drained well.
2 c. diced ham (1 lb.)
1 c. low-fat grated Mozzarella
1/3 c. thinly sliced green onion (optional, but good)
8-10 eggs, well beaten
Spike Seasoning (or other all-purpose seasoning blend) to taste (1 tsp. ish)
fresh ground pepper to taste
low-fat sour cream, for serving (optional)

Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a 9 x 13" dish with non-stick spray.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and cook the broccoli just 2 min., the pour into a colander placed in the sink and let it drain well.  Dice the ham while the broccoli drains.
Layer broccoli, ham, Mozzarella, and green onions (if using) in casserole dish.  Season with Spike Seasoning and fresh-ground black pepper and pour beaten egg over.  Use a fork to "stir" the mixture just until all the ingredients are coated with egg.  (It might look like there is not enough egg, but carry on!)
Bake 35-45 minutes, or until all the mixture is set and the top is starting to lightly brown.  (If you use the higher amount of eggs, it will take the longer baking time, but start to check after about 30 min.) Serve hot, with low-fat sour cream if desired.  This can be kept in the fridge for at least a week and reheated in the microwave.
