Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place 1 stick of butter in the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish and put it in the oven to melt while the oven preheats.

Steam 2 packages of broccoli florets in the microwave for about 4 minutes, then chop them with a pastry cutter to break them down slightly.

Drain excess water from the chopped broccoli to prevent the casserole from becoming watery.

In a large bowl, combine 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 small chopped onion, and 1/2 cup of mayonnaise; mix until well combined.

Add 2 beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

Gently fold in the drained broccoli florets, ensuring no excess water is included.

Transfer the mixture into the baking dish with the melted butter, spreading it evenly.
