A creamy and cheesy broccoli casserole that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect texture.
Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes until tender. Drain thoroughly.
Draining the broccoli well prevents the casserole from becoming watery.
In a bowl, mix the crushed crackers with melted butter. Press half of this mixture into the bottom of a pie plate to form a crust.
Use the back of a spoon to evenly press the crust into the pie plate.
In another bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, shredded cheese, mayonnaise, eggs, and diced onion. Mix well.
Ensure the ingredients are well combined for a consistent filling.
Pour the broccoli mixture into the pie plate over the crust. Top with the remaining cracker mixture.
Spread the topping evenly for a uniform crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Check the casserole at 35 minutes to avoid over-baking.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Cut into wedges and enjoy.
Cooling allows the casserole to set, making it easier to slice.
