# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F) to preheat.
02 - Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.
03 - In a large bowl, mix the chopped broccoli florets with shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole milk, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper until smooth and fully incorporated.
05 - Pour the egg and flour mixture over the broccoli and cheese, stirring gently to coat the ingredients uniformly.
06 - Spoon the mixture into each muffin compartment, pressing down lightly to compact the cups evenly.
07 - Drizzle a small amount of olive oil atop each muffin cup to promote a golden crust during baking.
08 - Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and centers are firm.
09 - Allow the cups to rest for a few minutes before loosening them from the tin. Serve warm.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure broccoli is finely chopped to allow even cooking and uniform texture.
