This easy egg and broccoli breakfast strudel is one of those recipes that feels a little fancy, yet comes together with very little effort. It’s perfect for a relaxed weekend breakfast, brunch with friends, or even serving overnight guests when you want something special without spending all morning in the kitchen.

Made with just five everyday ingredients, this lightened-up breakfast strudel delivers flaky phyllo on the outside and a simple, cheesy egg and broccoli filling inside. The only real planning required is making sure your phyllo dough has plenty of time to thaw. I rushed it once and ended up with a few cracks, which still tasted great but looked less polished.

How to Make Egg and Broccoli Strudel, Step-by-Step

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.

Ingredients including package of phyllo dough pastry sheets, broccoli florets, four eggs and shredded cheese.

Step 2: Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Lightly grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3: Add broccoli florets to a microwave (affiliate link) safe dish, along with 2-3 tablespoons water, cover and cook on HIGH for 2-3 minutes. (I used my Anyday dishes). Alternatively, you can bring a medium pot of water to a boil on the stove and add the broccoli and cook until crisp, yet tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain and blot dry with paper towels.

Step 4: Lay one phyllo sheet and a clean flat surface and lightly spritz with cooking spray, Layer 9 more phyllo sheets on top of the first one, lightly spritzing each one with cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap to keep sheets moist until ready to use.

Step 5: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and add salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6: Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir broccoli into egg mixture and pour into heated skillet, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula (affiliate link) just until set, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7: Remove plastic wrap from phyllo and carefully spoon egg and broccoli mixture over phyllo, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border on all sides. Top with shredded cheese.

Step 8: Carefully roll the short side of the phyllo over the egg filling jelly-roll-style. Place the strudel seam side down on the prepared baking dish and cut 3 or 4 1-inch slits in the top of the phyllo to allow the steam to escape.

Recipe Notes

  • Fully thawed phyllo dough is key to neat layers and easy rolling.
  • If phyllo cracks, don’t worry. Once baked, it’s still delicious.
  • You can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers reheat well in a toaster oven or air fryer.
