1

Cut 1 head of broccoli into florets and transfer to a bowl.

2

Pour boiling water over the broccoli until completely covered to blanch it.

3

Cut 4 potatoes into small cubes.

4

Melt a piece of butter in a frying pan and fry the potatoes until golden brown, sprinkling a little salt over them.

5

Take a baking container and pour olive oil into it, then layer the golden brown potatoes evenly at the bottom.

6

Add the blanched broccoli on top of the potatoes.

7

Cut 10 small champignons and fry them in olive oil in the frying pan.

8

Chop 1 onion and add it to the frying mushrooms with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and a small piece of butter.

9

Grate 2 cloves of garlic and add to the frying mixture, cooking for 5 to 10 minutes until fragrant.

Once the mushrooms are ready, place them on top of the broccoli in the baking container.

11

In a bowl, crack 3 eggs and pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking them together until combined.

12

Add 4 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of oregano to the egg mixture and beat until smooth.

15

Add 3 tablespoons of breadcrumbs on top of the cheese to make the crust crispy.

While the casserole bakes, prepare a sauce by adding 4 tablespoons of Greek yogurt to a bowl.
