Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole (Debra)


My friend Kate gave me a recipe and I tried it last week...turned out REALLY well so I'm making more tonight

2 cups broccoli
2 cups cauliflower
Cut into small pieces, boil for 5 min and put into a 9x13 baking dish (buttered if it's not non-stick)
2 eggs (beaten)
½ cup mayonnaise
1 onion finely chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Fresh sliced mushroom (optional) - about 1 cup
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (I used a strong, old white cheddar)
1 cup crushed seasoned croutons
1/4 tsp black pepper

(use low sodium/low fat options where possible)
NOTE: I added a good teaspoon of tumeric - yum! Just watch that you don't stain things with it!

Beat eggs, add mayo, soup, pepper, ½ the cheese and ½ the croutons.
Pour mixture over the vegetables in the pan (I stir to get it all coated), then top with other half cups of cheese and crushed croutons.
Bake at 350F for 35 - 40 minutes.
You could also add chicken (cooked), zucchini...
