This broccoli lasagna is a light, nutritious, and delicious twist on the classic Italian favorite. Perfect for anyone looking for a vegetarian, low-carb, and gluten-free meal, this recipe is simple to make and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 heads of broccoli (I used 1 broccoli and 1 cauliflower)
- 8 eggs
- Seasonings to taste (I used salt, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano)
- Grated Parmesan cheese to taste
- Optional: Add chopped tomatoes to the broccoli mixture and layer with slices of yellow cheese for extra flavor and creaminess.
How to Make Broccoli Lasagna
- Cut the broccoli florets and steam them for about 5 minutes.
- Grease a small baking dish with coconut oil.
- Add a layer of broccoli, season to taste, and crack 4 whole eggs over the top (keep the yolks intact). The eggs help the lasagna hold together.
- If you like, add a few slices of cheese over the eggs.
- Add another layer of broccoli, more seasoning, and the remaining eggs on top — again, keeping the yolks whole.
- Finish with grated Parmesan cheese (or more cheese slices if you prefer).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 320°F (160°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked.
- Serve warm and enjoy this healthy, comforting dish!
