Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding chopped onions or mushrooms to the mixture before baking.
Substitute mozzarella with cheddar or a blend of your favorite cheeses to change the taste.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor, or garlic powder in a pinch.
To keep it keto-friendly, avoid adding breadcrumbs or starchy fillers.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (165°C) until warmed through, about 15 minutes, or use a microwave for quicker reheating. This casserole does not freeze well as the texture of the broccoli may change upon thawing.
