Easy Broccoli Cheddar Egg Casserole Recipe

Broccoli Cheddar Egg Casserole

This casserole is a baked dish made with eggs, broccoli, and cheese as the star ingredients. Similar to a crustless quiche, it’s low in carbs, high in protein, and a versatile recipe that can be customized with other vegetables or meats if desired.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for extra creaminess)

  • 2 cups broccoli florets (steamed or lightly blanched)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for sautéing)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare broccoli

Steam or blanch broccoli florets until just tender, then pat dry.

Step 3: Sauté onion (optional)

In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter and cook onion until softened.

Step 4: Mix egg base

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 5: Assemble casserole

Spread broccoli and onion evenly in the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over them, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6: Bake casserole

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until eggs are set and the top is golden.

Step 7: Rest and serve  

Allow casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley.
