1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp sugar
1 lg egg
1 lg egg white
1 cup lowfat milk
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 2/3 cups diced yellow onion
2 cups diced broccoli tops
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Lightly coat a 2-quart baking dish with oil.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until foamy; add milk, oil and salt, then whisk until blended.

Pour egg mixture into dry ingredients and stir to combine.

Fold in diced onion and broccoli; distribute evenly in batter.

Spoon mixture into oiled baking dish and top with cheese.
