Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 cups broccoli florets (10 ounces), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 scallions (white and green parts), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3/4 cup)
1 small garlic clove
10 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, room temperature, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (about 2 cups)
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup plain whole or lowfat yogurt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces bread sticks or pretzels, for serving

Steps:

  • In large saucepan of boiling water, cook broccoli 1 minute. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Pat dry. Transfer half of broccoli to covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Transfer other half to food processor and add scallions and garlic. Pulse until finely chopped, about 10 (1-second) pulses. Transfer mixture to medium bowl.
  • In same processor, combine Cheddar and cream cheese and process until smooth, about 3 minutes. Return broccoli mixture to processor, add yogurt and pepper, and pulse until blended, about 15 (1-second) pulses. Transfer to large covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve dip with reserved broccoli florets and bread sticks or pretzels.
  • Transportation tips:
  • For simple, elegant, cooler-to-blanket serving, refrigerate the dip in a sturdy glass bowl with a lid, such as those made by Pyrex. If you'll be serving it to a large group, use two bowls for easy passing. Transport pretzels or breadsticks in their packaging and then place them in bowl at the picnic site, or transfer them at home to a Tupperware container and use that as a serving dish as well.

ROASTED BROCCOLI & CHEDDAR CHEESE DIP WITH POTATO WEDGES RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Roasted Broccoli & Cheddar Cheese Dip with Potato Wedges Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by jenlin

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces broccoli florets (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Black pepper, freshly ground
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
8 ounces mild cheddar, shredded (about 2 1/2 cups)
4 ounces Monterey jack, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Roasted potato wedges, toast points, crudites or potato chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 450°F. Toss the broccoli florets with the oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet and spread out in a single layer. Roast the broccoli until browned in parts and tender but not mushy, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a cutting board to cool. Coarsely chop the broccoli. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook until the flour is lightly browned and has a paste-like consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the half-and-half and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture just comes to a bare simmer and has thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheddar and Monterey jack until melted. Gently stir in the roasted broccoli and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and serve with roasted potato wedges or other dippers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dip.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli. It should be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch.
  • Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your dip.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make broccoli cheddar dip. Try adding different ingredients, such as bacon, jalapeños, or roasted red peppers.
  • Serve broccoli cheddar dip with your favorite dippers. Some popular options include tortilla chips, pretzels, and vegetables.
