Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the broccoli florets. Blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Stir until smooth. Add the salt and black pepper, then mix well.
Fold the blanched broccoli into the soup and cheese mixture until evenly coated.
Pour the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a smaller bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the butter.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly on top of the broccoli casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious broccoli casserole!
