How to Make Broccoli Kugel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 1/2 cup margarine in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in 2 cups water, 1 teaspoon chicken soup powder, and 1/2 cup mayonnaise until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 4 cups cooked broccoli florets, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the kugel is set and golden brown on top and the center is no longer jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
