TRIPLE-CHEESE BROCCOLI PUFF
This rich-tasting souffle is always on our Christmas morning menu. Like any puffy souffle, it will settle a bit after you remove the dish from the oven, but the pretty golden top is very attractive. I often add some cubed ham. -Maryellen Hays, Wolcottville, Indiana

BROCCOLI-CHEESE PUFF
Here's a recipe I tend to lean on for make-me-feel-special comfort food. Based on a recipe from McCall's Cooking School, #6 under EGGS, CHEESE category. The introduction says, "A SAVORY VEGETABLE BREAD PUDDING. This is a truly magnificent vegetable side dish -- broccoli, cheddar cheese, and bread cubes baked in a basil-flavored egg custard and topped with rings of fresh bread. Prepare it up to 1 day in advance and then pop it into the oven to bake just before serving. The abundance of eggs and cheese makes this dish high in protein, and for a light lunch or dinner you need only add a big tossed salad." The only special tool that not every kitchen has is a 2.75-inch-diameter doughnut cutter required to give this dish its festive appearance; invest in one -- they're cheap! The resulting smiles will make you happy you did! You'll look like a genius! :) Neither prep nor cooking time includes 30 minutes standing time.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or brown florets, as this indicates that it is past its prime.
- Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and steam or boil it until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the broccoli mushy.
- Use a variety of cheeses: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your broccoli puffs. Try using a combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella, to create a rich and complex flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the broccoli puffs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the broccoli puffs until they are golden brown: The broccoli puffs should be cooked until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
Conclusion:
Broccoli puffs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking by using different types of cheese, vegetables, and herbs. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, broccoli puffs are sure to be a hit.
