Broccoli Casserole with French Fried Onions

As a vegetarian I'm always looking for new vegetable recipes that look and taste great.
Most Americans love Green Bean Casserole, you know? the one with those French Fried Onions!
I think we all serve it at Thanksgiving. I know we always had it during the Holidays at my Grandmother's house.
Here's a spin on that All American Casserole.

1 TBS butter
1 C chopped onion
1 - 10 3/4 oz.can of Cream of Mushroom Soup

1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 hard boiled eggs, sliced, divided ( slice 3, set aside, slice the other 3 and set them aside)

1 can of french fried onions

Broccoli:
