Broccoli Casserole
Description
The Broccoli Casserole combines fresh broccoli florets and diced onion steamed briefly until tender-crisp, then mixed with melted unsalted butter, condensed cream of mushroom soup, mayonnaise, eggs, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. This mixture creates a rich and creamy filling that cooks into a cohesive casserole.
Before baking at 350°F, the casserole is topped with extra shredded cheddar and finely crushed Ritz crackers, which provide a golden, crunchy crust contrasting the tender broccoli and creamy interior. The dish offers a balance of creamy, savory, and mildly crunchy elements.
This casserole works well alongside roasted or grilled meats as a hearty side dish. It can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving. The combination of mushroom soup and mayonnaise adds a moist richness, while eggs help bind the casserole.
