Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 8 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cups Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green and are slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika if using. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese, and stir to combine.
Layer the blanched broccoli florets evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Spoon the onion and garlic mixture over the broccoli.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the broccoli and onions, making sure everything is coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
