BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKE



Broccoli Cheese Bake image

This is a great casserole that I threw together one day when a friend requested Broccoli au Gratin for her birthday dinner. This is a great idea for those who aren't big fans of bread crumbs. Also, the eggs can be taken out for a great sauce and using skim milk and fat-free cheese works well, too. It's basically a great recipe that can be easily altered according to taste. Enjoy!

BUFFET-STYLE FLUFFY OVEN SCRAMBLED EGGS FOR A CROWD



Buffet-Style Fluffy Oven Scrambled Eggs for a Crowd image

This is the method that restaurants use to serve eggs for a buffet brunch --- for cheesy eggs mix in 1-1/2 cups shredded old cheddar cheese or you may sprinkle the cheese on top after removing from the oven --- 2-1/2 cups half and half cream and milk will produce ultra fluffy eggs, for a firmer texture reduce to 2 cups--- NOTE this recipe was tested using large eggs I cannot promise the same results using small or extra large eggs --- if you are serving these eggs at a buffet some side ideas would be salsa, green onions, cheddar cheese and soft buns :)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3-1/2 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 teaspoons salt (I use seasoned salt)
fresh ground black pepper (optional and to taste) or white pepper (optional and to taste)

1 1/4 cups milk (or use 2-1/2 cups all milk)

  • Spray a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan with cooking spray then pour the melted butter into the pan.
  • In a bowl whisk eggs and salt until smooth and well blended.

  • Bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven then stir the eggs; return to oven and bake another 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are just set (to insure soft fluffy eggs do not overbake as the eggs will cook more after removing from the oven).
