Step 2

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
Step 3

Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir until mixed. Slowly add the milk, stirring to prevent lumps. Cook until white sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes.

Combine broccoli, eggs, mayonnaise, and onion in a baking dish; cover with white sauce and stir to combine.

Saute the onion in the butter before you make the roux. Cut down the flour to two tablespoons then follow as directed except add 1/2 c shredded cheese to the mixture. Sprinkle another 1/2 c on top after you've turned everything out into the casserole. Read More

We did not care for this. Husband is not a big fan of vegetables to begin with and this was no exception. I made as directed except I didn't need 10 servings so I reduced the recipe to 4 servings and I used fresh steamed broccoli. It was very pretty but was very bland and mushy. I am sure I could tweek this with spices but I won't and will not make this again. Sorry just didn't work for us. Read More
