Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 large eggs
- 120 milliliters milk
- 150 grams cheddar cheese, shredded
- 50 grams breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
Steam or boil the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Layer the cooked broccoli florets evenly in the greased baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the dish.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
