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.

BROCCOLI GRATIN



Broccoli Gratin image

Made this last night for the first time... I think even people who hate broccoli will love this! So simple, I recommend trying any kind of veggie or cheese combo.

Provided by BethanyC

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Broccoli

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large head broccoli, cut into florets
6 tablespoons butter, divided
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
2 slices stale bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add broccoli, cover, and steam until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Melt 5 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour, stirring constantly to prevent browning. Slowly pour in milk, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Drain broccoli and place in a casserole dish. Pour cheese sauce on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, crush bread into crumbs. Saute in a skillet with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spread bread crumbs over the broccoli and continue baking until golden brown, about 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Blanch the broccoli: Blanching the broccoli helps to preserve its color and nutrients. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender. Remove the broccoli from the boiling water and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick: The cheese sauce should be thick enough to coat the broccoli. If the sauce is too thin, it will not hold its shape in the gratin.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of the gratin. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the gratin: The gratin should be cooked until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the broccoli is tender. Overcooking the gratin will make the broccoli mushy and the cheese sauce rubbery.

Conclusion:

Broccoli Pecorino Gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender broccoli, and crispy breadcrumb topping, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
