Cheesy Ham Broccoli Casserole
Description
Cheesy Ham Broccoli Casserole starts by boiling fresh or frozen broccoli florets until slightly tender and well drained. The broccoli is placed in a buttered oven-safe dish along with cubed ham and grated cheddar cheese. A mixture of beaten eggs, milk, salt, and pepper is poured over the ingredients before baking at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 40 minutes.
During baking, the egg custard cooks through, firming up and melding the flavors while melting the cheddar into a creamy, cheesy topping that holds the casserole together. The ham adds a salty depth and texture contrast to the soft broccoli, making this dish hearty enough for a main course or suitable as a side.
This casserole is practical for using leftover ham and can be made with fresh or frozen broccoli, making it versatile and convenient for various meal plans.
