2. Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl; whisk in the mayonnaise, cream of mushroom soup, & cheddar cheese, pour into cooked broccoli. Mix well, mashing broccoli as you mix. Pour into a greased 2 quart casserole dish. (optional~ top with crushed Ritz crackers)
3. Bake in the preheated oven until center sets, 30 to 45 minutes.
