Prepare the ingredients by grating 2 and 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese into a large bowl.

Slice 4 scallions and add them to the cheese bowl.

Peel and dice 4 russet potatoes, then cook them in a pot covered with cold water, bringing it to a boil and simmering for 10 minutes until slightly tender.

Grate the cooked potatoes using the large holes of a box grater until you have about 6 cups.

Add the grated potatoes to the cheese and scallion mixture.

Add 4 teaspoons of Dijon mustard and 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to the mixture.

Beat 5 large eggs and add them to the bowl along with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper; stir to combine.

Add 4 cups of broccoli florets to the mixture and stir until fully combined.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Cook some bacon until crispy and drain on paper towels.

In a large cast iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, discarding excess bacon fat if necessary.

Add the potato mixture to the skillet and cook on the stove for about 8 minutes until the bottom starts to get crispy and set.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the casserole is set.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with crispy bacon, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and additional scallions before serving.
