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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Layer the blanched broccoli florets evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Spoon the onion and garlic mixture over the broccoli.
Step 6
Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the broccoli and onions, making sure everything is coated.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Step 8
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
