Wash the broccoli florets thoroughly and pat them dry. Chop them into small, bite-sized pieces if necessary.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until the mixture is well blended and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, swirling the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned.
Turn the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli evenly.
Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, folding the eggs over themselves to create soft curds.
Continue cooking while stirring occasionally until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
If using, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs during the last 30 seconds of cooking and let it melt slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Serve hot and enjoy!
