   • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your dish bakes to perfection.
   • Meanwhile, steam or cook the fresh broccoli in boiling water for just a few minutes until it’s crisp-tender. Once done, drain the broccoli and set it aside.

2. Mixing:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the Egg Beaters egg substitute until it’s light and frothy.
   • To the beaten eggs, add the cooked broccoli along with the flour and both types of cheese. Mix everything together until well combined. This forms the hearty base of your bake.

3. Baking:

   • Take a large casserole dish and generously grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
   • Transfer the broccoli mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it evenly for consistent baking.
   • Place the dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the top turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

4. Serving:

   • Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the Broccoli and Cheese Bake from the oven.
   • Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent any burns.
   • Serve warm, either as a standalone dish or as a delightful side to complement your favorite main course.
