Cook frozen broccoli until tender, drain excess water.

Add onion soup mix, mayo, a few eggs, mish together and pour into a pan. Bake until top is slightly brown and dry (about 45 minutes at 350 degrees).

You can also use that filling and pour into a pie crust.

Another alternative is add shredded cheese....

Does it freeze well

Um... I've never had any left over to freeze! LOL

Seriously, when I make it for Shabbat, I make a regular and a smaller one and let the family nosh on the smaller one during the day so there's SOMETHING left for Shabbat.

It does freeze well, just when you heat it up, don't seal it in the foil, let the steam/air/water escape.

I do the same thing, but -
1 - I don't cook the broccoli, I just defrost it
2 - I make it half broccoli and half spinach
3 - I add a lot of sauteed onions and mushrooms
4 - I add in a little flour (or cake meal on pesach)

my favorite kugel ever!

Here's my variation --

I stick the broccoli (after it's defrosted) in the food processor so it's chopped very finely (this also helps avoid any bug issues), then I add mayo and eggs and some soy milk then bake in a pie crust. It freezes well, but beware it goes very fast. In my experience with processing it, one 16oz bag perfectly fits into one deep dish pie crust. Just beware that one whole bag doesn't fit great into the food processor, so you'll need to do two shifts, but it's really easy.

I just made 2 for Yom Tov & froze them. I usually make 1 for that Shabbos & eat it fresh. Thanks for the tip about taking off the foil when reheating. I would have done that anyway I think. I hate soggy tops of stuff.

Never thougt about it, but it makes sense. If you bake someting with a top on, like gef fish, it retains the liquid. Stands to reason that reheating with a top would equal soggy.

I make the one from Spice & Spirit on the bottom of the page. I use froaen broccoli bits & put the whole thing into a pie crust. It's really good. And freezes well.

I've never frozen that specific recipe, but I've frozen similar items and never had any trouble.
