| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cook Broccoli: Begin by cooking the broccoli until tender. Once cooked, drain off any excess water. |
| 2 | Prepare Casserole Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, transfer the cooked broccoli into a suitable casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. |
| 3 | Mix Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, mayonnaise, and beaten egg until well blended. This mixture forms the creamy base of your broccoli puff. |
| 4 | Pour Mixture Over Broccoli: Once thoroughly mixed, pour the creamy concoction over the broccoli in the casserole dish, ensuring that all the broccoli florets are evenly coated. |
| 5 | Prepare Topping: Melt the butter and margarine together, then mix them with the breadcrumbs until they form a crumbly mixture. This savory topping adds a delightful crunch to the dish. |
| 6 | Top and Bake: Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the broccoli and creamy mixture in the casserole dish, providing a tantalizing layer of texture. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is heated through. |
