Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups matzo meal (or bread crumbs for non-Passover use)
- 0.5 cups parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 optional olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cauliflower florets, and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain well and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Fold the broccoli and cauliflower into the egg mixture until evenly coated.
Sprinkle in the matzo meal (or bread crumbs) and parmesan cheese, and mix until combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
