We're lucky to have fresh fruits and vegetables year-round. I put bountiful Arizona broccoli to great use in this rich side dish. Even those who don't care for broccoli finish off big helpings. Carol Strickland, Yuma, Arizona Ingredients:
8 cups chopped fresh broccoli |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
3/4 cup butter, cubed |
12 eggs, lightly beaten |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, saute broccoli and onion in butter until crisp-tender; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream and 1-3/4 cups of the cheese. Stir in the broccoli mixture, salt and pepper. Pour into a greased 3-qt. baking dish; set in a large pan filled with 1 in. of hot water.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 12-16 servings.
