Equipment

  • 1 9x13" glass baking dish
  • 1 sharp knife to cut vegetables
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup 2% milk or half-and-half
  • 1 cup UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 16 oz. pkg. sharp cheddar cheese shredded (two 8-ounce packages)(see note below)
  • 20 oz. pkg. frozen chopped broccoli cooked and drained (two 10-ounce packages)
  • 2 tbsp. onion chopped

Instructions
 

  • Melt butter in a 9x13” baking dish.
  • Tilt the dish to coat the entire bottom surface of the pan.
  • Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs in a mixing bowl with a whisk.
  • Add milk, flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in cheese, broccoli and onion.
  • Spoon ingredients into buttered baking dish.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees until mixture is set, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Cut into squares.

Notes

NOTE: The original recipe called for 2 12-oz. pkgs. cheddar cheese. That is way too much cheese. I cut the recipe down to 2 8-oz. pkgs. cheese and felt like one 8-oz. pkg. sharp cheddar cheese would have been sufficient for this recipe.
