EASY BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE



Easy Broccoli-Cheese Casserole image

For the longest time, my mum would make this amazing broccoli casserole. It is more like a crustless quiche, but has converted many broccoli haters into broccoli lovers! I have not ever tweaked this recipe - not even to add minced garlic, sauteed onion, pimento, etc; it's too simple and delicious on its own to need tweaking. This can be made ahead and refrigerated before cooking. It freezes well and can be thawed prior to cooking.

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Shred your own cheese for the best flavor and texture. Pre-shredded cheese can be used, but it often contains additives that can affect the taste and consistency of the casserole.
  • Use a large baking dish to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly. A 9x13 inch baking dish is a good size.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the center is bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to cut.

This crust-topped broccoli and cheese casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. With its creamy, cheesy filling and crispy crust, this casserole is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
