Ingredients

• 800 g of broccoli
• 80 grams of cooked ham – (not for vegetarians)
• 80 grams of sliced ​​mozzarella or cheese or béchamel
• 3 eggs
• half chopped onion
• Salt and Pepper To Taste

Preparation

1. The first thing to do is cook the broccoli . We separate the stem from the flower, as cooking times vary. This is very important so that you don’t have parts that are too soft and others that are too hard. The flower will need about two and a half minutes to cook and the stem should cook at least twice as long, reaching five minutes.
2. Once this is done, we cut the flower into more or less similar pieces so that the cooking is as uniform and homogeneous as possible.
3. Next, we peel the stem and cut it into small chunks or similar sized pieces.
4. To cook it, we will put the stem in boiling water with salt. After two and a half minutes, add the broccoli flower and wait a total of five minutes.
5. After this time, what we will do is put the broccoli in ice and salt in order to stop the cooking and not lose the green color of the broccoli. When it has cooled, strain and remove excess water.
6. In a pan or in a mold lined with parchment paper , add the cooked broccoli, the cubes of ham, the chopped onion and beat three or four eggs. At the end we will add the mozzarella, salt and pepper and mix everything.
7. Finally, cook the broccoli au gratin in the oven for 30 minutes at 180°C.
