- Drop the potatoes into a pot of salted boiling water and cook until fork tender, about 25 minutes.

- Drain the potatoes and broccoli and transfer them both to a large mixing bowl. Using w potato masher, mash them together. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Add the eggs and grated cheese, salt, pepper and oil and mix until everything is well combined.
- Take 6oz of the Cheese and cut it up into 1/4 inch cubes. Fold them into the potato broccoli mixture. Spread the mixture into the baking dish and smooth the top with a spoon. Using a grater with large holes, grate the remaining cheese over the top and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Drizzle the whole thing with about 2 tablespoons of extra Virgin Olive oil.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Raise the temperature to 400 and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned. Cool for 1 hour before serving.
