For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder to the egg mixture. Squeezing the thawed broccoli is essential to prevent a soggy kugel. Caramelizing the onions properly is key to the dish's overall flavor profile; don't rush this step! Kugel can be prepared in advance and reheated. Store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)
02
StepHeat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
03
StepReduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking and stirring onion until deeply caramelized and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more. This step is crucial for adding depth of flavor. Set aside to cool slightly.
04
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Gently fold in the squeezed broccoli and caramelized onions until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)
05
StepPour the broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly. (2 minutes)
06
StepBake in the preheated oven until the kugel is set and golden brown, about 90 minutes. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (90 minutes)
07
StepLet cool slightly before slicing and serving. (10 minutes)
