Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 200 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 3 large Eggs
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 grams Butter, melted
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground (optional)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a bundt pan or ring mold with cooking spray or oil and set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green but still firm. Drain the broccoli and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Add the blanched broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs to the egg mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared bundt pan or ring mold. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture down evenly, ensuring it fills the mold and is packed tightly.
Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
Remove the broccoli ring from the oven and let it cool in the mold for 10 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter.
Garnish with some additional grated Parmesan or fresh herbs, if desired. Slice and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
