Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and the broccoli florets. Blanch the broccoli for 2-3 minutes, then drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Stir until smooth. Add the salt and black pepper, then mix well.

Step 4

Fold the blanched broccoli into the soup and cheese mixture until evenly coated.

Step 5

Pour the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

In a smaller bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated with the butter.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly on top of the broccoli casserole.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

Step 10

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