This is considered a breakfast dish in our house, but you can make it for brunch, lunch or dinner, too. It's a quick and inexpensive meal that would certainly stretch your food budget a little. Don't put the skillet too close to the broiler if you can help it. It only takes a few minutes to brown the top, so watch it closely.
You might consider using carrots instead of broccoli, or really any other veggie that your family likes. Add a little bacon or chopped chicken for your meat lovers if that would make them happy, but remind them that eggs are a protein, after all. Enjoy!
