Gone are the potatoes and the quantities are a little revised. It now easily caters for 2 hungry people and probably more like 3 with normal appetites!</p> <h3>Ingredients</h3> <ul> <li>Approximately 200g of fresh broccoli</li> <li>2 mushrooms</li> <li>120g of butter</li> <li>80g of plain flour</li> <li>350ml of milk</li> <li>4 eggs</li> <li>300g of cheese</li> </ul> <h3>Directions</h3> <ol> <li>Prepare and steam the broccoli.</li> <li>Melt the butter on medium heat in a saucepan large enough to fit all the broccoli in there later.</li> <li>Add the flour, mix well and keep stirring until bubbly.</li> <li>Gradually add the milk stir until well mixed.</li> <li>Bring to a boil and season with a bit of salt and pepper if you fancy. I never add salt when cooking but that's just me.</li> <li>Turn off heat and get to work beating those eggs.</li> <li>Mix in the eggs.</li> <li>Now gradually add the cheese. I usually save some back to put on last for a nice cheese top layer.</li> <li>Finally combine it together with the broccoli and whatever other veg you decided to sneak in there and mix it up good and proper.</li> <li>Slop it in a casserole dish, adding the cheese you saved back on top if you want, and bung in the oven at 325°F/165°C/gas mark 3 for about 30 to 40 minutes.</li> </ol> <p>Leave it to cool and dish it out.
