Microwave the broccoli in the microwave on high for 3-5 minutes, according to package instructions, or until the broccoli is soft and fork-tender.
Drain any excess liquid and use a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife to finely chop into small pieces. You may also use a food processor to ensure that the broccoli bits are small.
Add ¾ cup of mozzarella, parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt (if using) to the bowl with the broccoli. Mix until well combined.
Line a 9 by 13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture into the baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth it out into a flat, even layer, pressing down well to ensure that the top is smooth.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until dry to the touch, then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella evenly on top.
Place the pan back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese fully melts. For golden brown cheese, set the oven to broil and broil for 1 additional minute (keeping a very close eye to ensure it doesn't burn). Let cool and slice into pieces to serve.
