Savory Oatmeal Bake

Step 1 -Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or a 9-inch square cake pan.

Step 3 -Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 4 -In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 cup of the milk until completely smooth.

Step 5 -Add the flour mixture to the skillet, followed by the remaining milk.

Step 6 -Raise the heat to medium and cook until the sauce mixture is thickened, whisking constantly, about 7-10 minutes. If the flour begins to stick to the bottom, transfer the skillet from the burner and reduce the heat before moving the skillet back onto the burner.

Step 7 -Transfer the skillet from the heat.

Step 8 -Add the Greek yogurt, the cheese, the salt, the pepper, and the garlic and whisk until all the cheese is melted and the sauce reaches a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 9 -In a large bowl, combine the oatmeal, the broccoli, the egg, the baking soda, and the Greek yogurt mixture.

Step 10 -Once the mixture is well-combined, add it to the prepared pan.

Step 11 -Bake the oatmeal until it is fully set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, about 30-35 minutes.

Step 12 -If desired, broil the oatmeal bake for 30 seconds-1 minute before transferring the pan from the oven to get an extra crispy top.

Step 13 -Let the oatmeal bake cool for 5 minutes.

Step 14 -Serve.
