Ingredients

• 500 grams Broccoli florets
• 200 grams Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 3 large Eggs
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 50 grams Butter, melted
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground (optional)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a bundt pan or ring mold with cooking spray or oil and set aside.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green but still firm. Drain the broccoli and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

Step 4

Add the blanched broccoli, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs to the egg mixture. Gently stir until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the prepared bundt pan or ring mold. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture down evenly, ensuring it fills the mold and is packed tightly.

Step 6

Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.

Step 7

Remove the broccoli ring from the oven and let it cool in the mold for 10 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter.

Step 8

Garnish with some additional grated Parmesan or fresh herbs, if desired. Slice and serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
