Cyrene,thank you for posting your Broccoli Puff.I chose this recipe because it listed fresh broccoli,not frozen.Was happy to have leftovers for lunch the next day.The only thing I will do different next time is not cook the broccoli for so long,because it really was over cooked with the oven time.In fact, I am going to try not pre cooking the broccoli.This is a very good any time side dish.:0)

Totally awesome! I don't like broccoli, but I loved this and will make it again.

This was superb! I followed the recipe but used a little more cheese and breadcrumbs and infused the butter with lemon - delish!

This was very good!!! I added some garlic, onion and cajun seasonings to it. I live in high altitude so i had to bake it for a bit longer. Thank you, Cyrene.

My DH had this half eaten before dinner was ready. I did change a few things. I used Colby Jack cheese because thats all I had. I also used half and half because I had some that needed used. I added 1/4 cup fresh minced onions (because we like onions)and a dash of Morton's Natures Season's season blend. The consistancy was perfect and loaded with flavor. I might try this again for a brunch casserol by adding cooked diced ham or bacon. We will be having this dish often in our house. Thank you Cyrene! :)
