Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds broccoli (about 4 heads), cut into small florets (about 8 cups)
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking dish or an 8-cup gratin dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the white sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring about 1-inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan and set up a collapsible steamer on top. Put the broccoli in the steamer and season with salt. Cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Put the broccoli in the prepared dish, sprinkle with half of the cheese and pour on the sauce. Cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Cover the gratin with the bread crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the baking dish
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds Yellow Finn or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6)
2 bunches broccoli stems, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3 cups; see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Gruyere (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes, broccoli stems, cream, thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the potatoes have absorbed some of the cream and the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the Gruyere.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and shake to distribute the potatoes and broccoli evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli. Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly. Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. This will help to retain their color and nutrients.
  • Use a good quality cheese. Gruyère is a classic choice for broccoli gratin, but you can also use other hard cheeses such as Parmesan or cheddar.
  • Season the gratin well. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for broccoli gratin. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as nutmeg or paprika, to taste.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Broccoli and Gruyère gratin is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover broccoli. With its creamy, cheesy sauce and crispy breadcrumb topping, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
