Broccoli Casserole

5 or 6 slices of your favorite soft bread, torn into bite-sized pieces
3 large eggs
1/4 cup of milk
4 tablespoons of butter, melted
1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 small bunch of broccoli, florets only (1 1/2 to 2 cups), fine chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter an 8-inch square baking dish. Cover the bottom of the dish generously with the torn bread.

Put the eggs and beat them. Add the milk, the melted butter the cheese, the sugar, and the salt. Mix until everything is well combined.

Stir in the chopped broccoli florets.

Pour the mixture over the bread in the baking dish.

Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 35 minutes.

For a chewier top, remove the foil during the last 10 to 12 minutes of the baking.

If you desire a crisper crust, remove the foil and run the casserole under the broiler.

Serve.
