Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 3 cups fresh spinach
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes. Remove and immediately plunge into an ice water bath to halt cooking, then drain.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

Step 5

Add the eggs to the cream mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Stir in the sautéed spinach, blanched broccoli, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese into the cream mixture. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
