Craving a delectable and nutritious dish that combines the goodness of broccoli with a symphony of flavors? Look no further! This broccoli bake is a culinary masterpiece that promises to tantalize your taste buds and nourish your body. It's a perfect blend of roasted broccoli florets, a creamy and cheesy sauce, and a crispy breadcrumb topping.
This versatile recipe offers two variations to suit your preferences. The Classic Broccoli Bake is a timeless favorite, featuring a velvety cheese sauce made with three types of cheese: sharp cheddar, Parmesan, and cream cheese. The sauce envelops the tender broccoli florets, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and textures.
For those seeking a lighter option, the Lightened-Up Broccoli Bake is a delightful alternative. It utilizes a reduced-fat cheese blend and Greek yogurt to create a creamy sauce that's just as flavorful without compromising on health.
Both variations are topped with a golden-brown breadcrumb mixture, adding a satisfying crunch and a beautiful contrast to the creamy filling. The result is a comforting and flavorful dish that will be a hit at any gathering.
BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKE
This is a great casserole that I threw together one day when a friend requested Broccoli au Gratin for her birthday dinner. This is a great idea for those who aren't big fans of bread crumbs. Also, the eggs can be taken out for a great sauce and using skim milk and fat-free cheese works well, too. It's basically a great recipe that can be easily altered according to taste. Enjoy!

CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE AND BROCCOLI BAKE WITH HERB BREAD CRUMBS
This one-dish dinner is indeed a casserole - but it's bright and light, and nearly effortless. Toss canned artichokes with capers, garlic and chicken stock, pour over chicken breasts and broccoli florets, then let the oven do the work. Canned artichokes are the main flavor builder here so opt for the firmer water-packed variety, which hold their shape better during cooking. While the casserole bakes, toast the panko bread crumbs and season them with dill. Serve the chicken with a squeeze of lemon for brightness and a sprinkle of herby bread crumbs for crunch.
