Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°fan/gas 4. Blanch the broccoli in boiling water until just tender (about 3-4 minutes). Reserve 250ml of the cooking water, then drain. Plunge the broccoli into a large bowl of ice cold water to cool quickly, then drain well.
- Put the drained broccoli into an ovenproof baking dish. In a jug, mix the eggs, cream and milk (see Make Ahead), pour over the broccoli, then toss to coat. Mix the zest, cheese and breadcrumbs, then scatter over the broccoli. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and the cream has set a little.
