Broccoli Cheese Bake

8 cups fresh broccoli

½ cup butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 small onion, chopped

1 ¼ cups milk

salt and pepper to taste

4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add flour; cook until bubbly. Stir in onion and gradually add milk, stirring well. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese and eggs; mix well. Combine mixture with broccoli and transfer to a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
