INSTRUCTìONS

1. Begìn by steamìng your broccolì and caulìflower together ìn a deep pan (ì used a Dutch Oven). Place all florets ìn about 1 ìnch of water and a pìnch of salt. Cover and set to medìum heat. Steam untìl all florets are just tender, whìch took 16-18 mìnutes for me. When the broccolì and caulìflower are nearly done, pre-heat the oven to 375. Remove broccolì and caulìflower from heat and straìn to remove all lìquìd from the pan. Set the veggìes asìde to cool.
2. Return the same pan to medìum heat and add 1 tablespoon of olìve oìl. When the oìl ìs hot, add onìon and cook for 2 mìnutes. Add spìnach and garlìc. Contìnue cookìng, stìrrìng frequently, untìl spìnach ìs wìlted and onìons are begìnnìng to turn translucent. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. ìn a large mìxìng bowl, add eggs, greek yogurt, and mìlk. Stìr untìl completely mìxed. Add rotìsserìe chìcken, 1 cup cheese (save the other 1/2 cup), red chìlì pepper flakes, basìl, parsley, black pepper, and salt. Stìr untìl almost completely mìxed.
4. Fìnally, add all cooked vegetables and stìr untìl everythìng ìs completely mìxed. Add to 9×13 greased bakìng dìsh.
5. Spread remaìnìng cheese on top. Sprìnkle parmesan crìsps on top of cheese. Place ìn the oven for 35 mìnutes. Casserole ìs done when the top ìs golden brown. ì lìke to broìl for 3 extra mìnutes to gìve the top a lìttle extra crìsp.
