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!
