1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 8-oz ramekins (or a 9 inch pie dish). Set aside.
2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli, cook 1 minute. Drain well, blot dry, and chop coarsely.
3. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in broccoli and cheese.
