If it broke from over tightening a too long bolt into a blind hole, it's stuck, will need to be drilled out and re-tapped. I doubt if easy-out will work.
If it broke from fatigue or overtightening NOT too long for the hole, it isn't stuck in there, easy removal. Tack weld anydam iron to it, and unscrew, Or just pick at it with a nail or sharp thing. Or the semi-brute idea, use a die grinder with a cut off wheel to saw a slot through bolt and the boss on the block, and use a screwdriver. The slot in the boss won't hurt nuthin.
