Ingredients

Fresh Broccoli

To begin with, you’ll need 2 cups of fresh broccoli florets. This ingredient is rich in vitamins C and K and provides a lovely green color to your dish. Steam the florets until tender but still bright green for the best flavor.

Shredded Cheese

Next up is 1 cup of shredded cheese. Cheddar works wonderfully here due to its sharp flavor that complements the broccoli perfectly. You can also mix it up with mozzarella if you prefer a milder taste.

Breadcrumbs

You will also require 1 cup of breadcrumbs. This ingredient helps bind everything together while adding a crunchy texture when baked. Use plain or seasoned breadcrumbs based on your preference.

Egg

A single large egg serves as a binding agent in this recipe. It helps hold all the ingredients together and adds richness to each bite.

Garlic Powder

For an aromatic touch, include 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. This ingredient enhances the overall flavor profile without overpowering the dish.

Salt and Pepper

Finally, don’t forget about seasoning! Adding salt and pepper to taste brings out the natural flavors of your ingredients. A pinch of each will do just fine.
