Ingredients
1 (14-ounce) bag frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2/3 cup mayonnaise
3 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons chopped onion
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place broccoli in a steamer insert over boiling water. Cover and steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
- In a saucepan, melt margarine over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook briefly. Slowly whisk in milk and cook, stirring, until sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
- In a baking dish, combine steamed broccoli, mayonnaise, eggs, and onion. Stir in the prepared sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top and continue baking for about 15 minutes, until the soufflé is set and cheese is melted and golden.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Use fresh broccoli instead of frozen for a firmer texture.
- Substitute mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt for a tangy flavor.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce for a classic soufflé taste.
- Try Swiss, Gruyère, or Monterey Jack cheese instead of Cheddar.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for best results.
