Directions

1. Step

To prepare the broccoli ham casserole recipe start by preheating the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Then I always butter the casserole dish and sprinkle it evenly with breadcrumbs. This prevents the casserole from sticking to the dish and gives a nice crispy surface.

2. Step

Put the washed and chopped broccoli in boiling water and blanch it for 3 minutes, this way it will keep its bright color and some of its nutrients while baking. If I am in a hurry, I skip the blanching step, the result is still delicious.

3. Step

While the broccoli is blanching, you can sauté the ham in a pan with the finely chopped onion and garlic. It is important not to over-fry the ham - it should only be lightly browned and not crispy.

4. Step

Next, I mix the cream with the eggs and season the mixture with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Generally, I like to be generous with the spices, especially nutmeg - it gives the casserole a special touch.

5. Step

Now it's time for layering: First, I spread a layer of broccoli in the dish, followed by ham and onions, and finally the cheese. Then I pour the cream and egg mixture on top. I repeat the process until all the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of cheese.

6. Step

I put the broccoli ham casserole in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is nice and golden and crispy. I always check after 20 minutes, because every oven is different.
