Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh broccoli florets
- 1 Medium onion, finely diced
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Matzah meal
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Water (if needed)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish or equivalent-sized kugel pan with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Steam or boil the broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly before finely chopping.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the matzah meal, remaining vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the cooked broccoli and sautéed onions until evenly incorporated. If the mixture feels too dry, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach a thick but spreadable consistency.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
