Broccoli Potato Gratin |

If there is something that I never liked in my childhood but I do love to eat now, the first one is broccoli and the second one is spinach. Around my 20s when I lived in Berlin I discovered how tasty green vegetables are, especially with cheese, with a lot of cheese.

This recipe today is very simple and you can pre-cook the veggies (do step 1 and 2 below) and just put the meal in the oven 30 minutes before you want to serve it. 

Let’s start cooking <3

What do you do with the eggs and the garlic, and at what temperature should be the oven? Thanks

I see you have corrected the recipe. Thank you, Milena. it makes more sense now! I will definitely give it a try. I like finding recipes that use Eggs and Cream. instead of a ”White Sauce” [I read that the translation from Italian(?) is “Glue Sauce”!]
