A delightful and easy-to-make broccoli casserole with a cheesy twist.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Cook the frozen broccoli and diced onion in a saucepan over medium heat until tender, then drain.
Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain a slight crunch.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, eggs, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a smooth mixture.
Add the cooked broccoli and onion to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined.
Fold gently to avoid breaking the broccoli florets.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the panko breadcrumbs and smoked paprika evenly over the top.
For extra flavor, mix the breadcrumbs with a bit of melted butter before sprinkling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check at 30 minutes to avoid over-browning.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cooling slightly allows the casserole to set for easier serving.
