Ingredients

• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, mixing constantly to form a paste.

Step 4

Gradually whisk the milk into the saucepan, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool for a minute.

Step 5

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly add the milk mixture to the eggs, stirring constantly to combine. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and mix well.

Step 6

Spread the cooked broccoli evenly across the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the broccoli, ensuring everything is coated.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflé-like mixture is puffed and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Quick Broccoli Bake Soufflé-Like dish!
