Ingredients

2 large (or 3 medium) heads of broccoli cut into florets
1 small onion finely diced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 eggs
½ cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 cup cream of chicken soup
2 cups cheddar cheese grated
1 cup Ritz crackers crushed
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 5 minutes. Remove from the water, drain, and pat dry.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan on MED-HIGH. Add the onions. Sauté for 5 minutes until they are fragrant. Set aside.
In a large bowl, add the eggs. Add the cooked onion, mayonnaise, chicken soup, and 1 ½ cups of the grated cheddar. Mix together.
Add the drained broccoli into a casserole dish and cover with the egg mix.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the crushed crackers on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until cooked through.

Notes

Blanch the broccoli to retain that vibrant green color and remove any bitterness.

Experiment with your cheese, like a blend of sharp cheddar and Parmesan or a fancy Gruyère.

Choose a low-sodium, high-quality cream of chicken soup.
