- Minutes to Prepare:
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
- small amount of lard or cooking spray for greasing the baking dish- 8 cups (700 grams) frozen broccoli florets, precooked and chopped- 24 slices (approx 1.85 lbs or 670 grams) Foster Farms Turkey Pastrami, chopped into 1/2" pieces- 2 cups (225 g) shredded pizza cheese blend- 2 cups (225 g) shredded mild cheddar cheese- 1 cup reduced fat 2% milk- 18 large eggs- salt & pepperNote: Substitute your favorite shredded cheese, traditional pastrami, or whole milk as desired, adjusting nutritional info as appropriate.
Preheat oven to 375°.
Lightly grease a 9 x 13 glass baking dish with the lard (or use cooking spray, but butter doesn't work in this context and neither does olive oil...the eggs still stick with both of those).
Precook the broccoli, drain, chop into small pieces.
Layer these ingredients in the baking dish, starting with the broccoli at the bottom:
broccoli
turkey pastrami
cheese
Whisk or blend together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper, then carefully pour the egg mixture into the dish. Lift the baking dish a half inch off the counter and gently but firmly let it "rap" down on the counter a couple times to help the contents settle.
Bake uncovered at 375° for 25 minutes, then test by inserting a clean knife into the center of the casserole. If the knife comes out wet with uncooked egg on it, bake for 5 additional minutes then check again, wiping the knife clean before re-inserting it. Continue checking at 5-minute intervals until the knife comes out clean.
NOTE: Keep an eye on the cheese topping. You may need to tent the dish with foil if the cheese is browning faster than the dish is cooking. Alternatively, do not add any cheese to the dish until 25 minutes into the cooking time.
