Healthy Broccoli Cheese Bake

Heat your oven to the desired temperature of 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Next step is to prepare the broccoli by placing it in a steamer basket above 1 inch of boiling water. Cover the steamer and cook until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, typically taking anywhere from 2 to 6 minutes. Remove the broccoli and drain off any excess water.

Now, focus on preparing the sauce by melting butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add flour to the pan and stir constantly until it becomes bubbly. Then, add chopped onion and cook for a few minutes before stirring in milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, allowing it to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the cheese, eggs, and cooked broccoli in a bowl. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is well-coated with the cheesy sauce. Transfer this mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Finally, bake the casserole in your preheated oven until it reaches a bubbly consistency, taking approximately 30 minutes to achieve the desired result.
