Makeover Creamy Broccoli Casserole image

I have to watch my fat intake, so I'm always looking for ways to make my cooking as healthy as possible. I adapted a family recipe to fit my diet. The better-for-you broccoli bake takes advantage of several fat-free or reduced-fat products. It calls for fat-free mayonnaise, reduced-fat cheese, reduced-fat crackers and reduced-fat reduced-sodium condensed soup.-Carolyn Creasman, Gastonia, North Carolina

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: You can make the casserole ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Just bake it in the morning before serving.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh broccoli, cheddar cheese, and eggs will make a big difference.
  • Don't Overcook the Broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli will make the casserole soggy.
  • Use a Good Quality Bread: The bread you use for the casserole is important. Use a bread that is sturdy enough to hold up in the casserole, but not too dense. A good option is a French bread or a sourdough bread.
  • Don't Be Afraid to Experiment: You can add other ingredients to the casserole to taste. Some popular options include diced ham, cooked bacon, or chopped bell peppers.

Broccoli cheddar brunch bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a lazy weekend morning.
