Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Fold the broccoli and cauliflower into the egg mixture until evenly coated.
Step 5
Sprinkle in the matzo meal (or bread crumbs) and parmesan cheese, and mix until combined.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly over the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling, and the casserole is heated through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
