Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups matzo meal
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the dish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart souffle or casserole dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Steam the broccoli florets until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain and allow them to cool slightly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are light and frothy. This will help ensure a fluffy texture for the souffle.
4. Add the matzo meal, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the eggs. Stir until well combined.
5. Chop the cooked broccoli into small pieces, then fold it into the egg mixture along with the finely chopped onions. Mix until evenly distributed.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
7. Bake the souffle in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown on top and set in the middle. To test if it’s done, insert a knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this delicious Passover-friendly broccoli souffle with your loved ones!
