Tips
- Get a head start. You can make the broccoli mixture a day ahead. When ready to prepare, preheat oven and start with Direction #2.
- Have fresh broccoli in the fridge to use up? Place broccoli in a microwaveable bowl, with 2 tbsp water and microwave on high for approximately 5 min.
- Make a double batch of the broccoli mixture and freeze extras for up to two weeks. Warm in microwave before layering on toast and baking in oven.
- This recipe is great to use up any dry or stale bread to reduce food waste and save money.
