Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 9h20m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more, for the baking dish
3 cups half-and-half
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
10 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups bite-sized broccoli florets
12 ounces hot dog buns, cut into 1-inch cubes, preferably stale (about 6 cups)
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar

Steps:

  • Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  • Whisk the half-and-half, Parmesan, eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and simmer until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain.
  • Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the Cheddar, followed by the broccoli. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the half-and-half mixture evenly over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
  • On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Bake until slightly puffed and just no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

BROCCOLI & CHEDDAR BARS



Broccoli & Cheddar Bars image

These bars are so good. It's another well received dish the folks at Church enjoyed..so easy too! I used mushrooms today, you can leave them out if you prefer...sometimes I add some heat to them by adding red pepper flakes... These can be eaten cold as well as hot, that's what makes them nice to take somewhere. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of your dish. Whenever possible, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
  • Don't Overcook the Broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make it mushy and bland.
  • Use a Good Quality Cheddar Cheese: The type of cheddar cheese you use will also make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Use a sharp or extra sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the Bars Cool Completely: Before you cut and serve the bars, let them cool completely. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheddar bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your broccoli cheddar bars turn out perfectly every time.
