In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Saute broccoli and onion for 5 minutes, or until crisp tender.
In a bowl, add eggs, cream, and 1 3/4 cups of the cheddar cheese, and mix well.
Add broccoli, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture.
Pour into a greased 3 quart casserole dish; set casserole inside of a larger dish, and pour 1 inch of water into the larger dish to make a water bath.
