A delightful broccoli casserole with a cheesy and crispy topping, perfect for family dinners or potlucks.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Starting with a preheated oven ensures even cooking.
Steam the broccoli until tender but still vibrant green, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Avoid overcooking the broccoli to maintain its texture and color.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, eggs, and half of the cheese. Mix until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for a consistent sauce.
Mix the steamed broccoli with the cheese sauce until evenly coated.
Gently fold the broccoli to avoid breaking it apart.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and spread evenly.
Use a spatula to level the mixture for even baking.
In a small bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter. Sprinkle this over the casserole.
Ensure the topping is evenly distributed for a consistent crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Allowing the casserole to rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
