Cheesy Broccoli Casserole

Today's make-ahead meal for the next few days' lunches:

Cheesy Broccoli Casserole

2.5 cups cooked brown rice (from 1 cup uncooked)
1 large bunch broccoli, chopped finely
3/4 cup skim milk
1 cup grated cheese (or more if you are feeling extravagant)(I used mozzarella, but something a bit sharper would be great)
3 eggs
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup coarse whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 good shakes hot red pepper flakes
2 large pinches fennel seeds
2 dashes salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp paprika

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine the rice, broccoli, garlic, and all spices in an 8 by 8 square baking dish (or something similar). In a bowl, beat the eggs; add the milk and grated mozzarella cheese; pour evenly over the rice/broccoli mixture. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan; sprinkle evenly over the top.
Bake about 35 minutes, until the top is browned and the middle is set.

Serves 3-4..
