Salt to taste if desired
2 tablespoons butter at room temperature
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy cream

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne

Steps:

  • With the butter, grease the inside of a 6-cup souffle dish. Put broccoli pieces in dish in one neat layer.
  • In a mixing bowl beat eggs well. Blend in milk, cream, pepper, nutmeg, cayenne and salt, if desired. Pour this over broccoli.
  • Set dish in a larger baking pan that can also be used on top of stove and pour boiling water around it. Bring to a boil and let simmer 5 minutes on top of stove. Place dish in its water bath in oven and bake 30 minutes or until custard is set.
