Prepare Broccoli and Pepper: In a saucepan, combine the broccoli florets and diced sweet pepper. Add 3/4 cup of water and most of the butter.
-
Simmer: Allow the vegetables to simmer gently for about 5 minutes or until the broccoli is just tender, soaking in all the flavors.
-
Grease Casserole Dish: Meanwhile, take the remaining butter and use it to generously grease a casserole dish, ensuring the gratin won’t stick.
-
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In the greased casserole dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in 3/4 of the cheddar cheese, creating a luscious cheesy base.
-
Season: Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, enhancing the flavors of the dish.
-
Incorporate Vegetables: Once the broccoli and peppers are tender, stir them into the cheesy egg mixture, adding a spoonful of the cooking juice for extra flavor.
-
Prepare Topping: Take some bread and blitz it to create fine crumbs. Mix these crumbs with the remaining cheddar cheese, creating a crunchy, cheesy topping for the gratin.
-
Top and Bake: Sprinkle the breadcrumb and cheese mixture evenly over the top of the gratin, creating a golden crust.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the gratin is set and the top is beautifully golden brown.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the gratin from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
