Nana's Egg and Broccoli Bake

Nana & her friend Harriet @ 16 yrs old.

I had not had this recipe in many, many years but made it the other day. Dave and I thought it was terrific!
When Nana made it, she would use a frozen package. Nana used this dish when she entertained or she prepared it to take as a side dish to a party.

Nana's Egg and Broccoli Bake:

4 hard boiled eggs - sliced
3 broccoli crowns - stems cut
1 1/2 cup milk
1 pkg cream cheese
1/4 cup Sherry
1 can pimento
1/2 cup cracker crumbs - Ritz


Melt cream cheese in the milk then add the Sherry. (1/4 extra cup of milk can be used in place of the Sherry.)  Once the cream cheese is melted bring entire mixture to a gentle boil and
turn off. Put 1/2 the milk mixture into a square baking pan, arrange the broccoli stems in the pan. Put sliced eggs around the broccoli. Then add strips of pimento on the eggs. Pour the remainder onto of the broccoli, eggs and pimento. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs on top of the entire mixture. Bake at 375* for 30 minutes. Serve hot.

PS When I made this, I actually diced the hardboiled eggs and sprinkled throughout the broccoli stems. Then I chopped the pimento and did the same so that every bite would have a taste of each ingredient. I also used Saltine crackers but I think the Ritz crackers with more butter would have been tastier.
