Cheese and cream contain a large amount of calcium. Eggs contain healthy fats and minerals. And broccoli is rich in antioxidants. Broccoli casserole with cheese is prepared without extra effort, and the oven will do most of the work for you.

Broccoli Casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, cauliflower works well as a substitute for broccoli. You can also use Brussels sprouts or asparagus, though cooking times may vary slightly.
Simply omit the eggs and use a plant-based cream and cheese alternative. Adding a bit of cornstarch (1-2 tsp) can help thicken the filling.
Yes, but thaw and drain it thoroughly to avoid excess moisture. Reduce boiling time to 2-3 minutes since frozen broccoli is partially cooked.
Store it in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for best texture.
Yes! Wrap tightly or use freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Pair it with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or a fresh salad. Crusty bread also complements the creamy texture nicely.
Ensure broccoli is well-drained after boiling. Pat it dry with a towel if needed, and avoid overloading with extra liquid ingredients.
Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, but add the final cheese topping just before baking to prevent sogginess.
The recipe is naturally low-carb, but for stricter diets, use full-fat cream and extra cheese while skipping starchy thickeners.
Double the ingredients and use a 9x13-inch baking dish. Extend baking time by 5-10 minutes if needed.
