Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups ham, diced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets and cook for 3 minutes until just tender.
Drain the vegetables and run them under cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
In a large pan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the pan, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Lower the heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is creamy.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then slowly stir the cheese sauce into the eggs, ensuring it is well combined.
Add the diced ham, broccoli, and cauliflower to the sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.
Sprinkle chopped chives over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
