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 a block of sharp cheddar cheese for the best flavor. Freshly grated cheese will melt more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Don't overheat the cheese dip. Stir it constantly over low heat until it is melted and smooth.
  • Add a variety of spices and herbs to taste. Some popular additions include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and chili powder.
  • Serve the cheese dip with a variety of dippers, such as tortilla chips, crackers, bread, or vegetables.
  • If you want a thicker cheese dip, add a cornstarch slurry. To make a cornstarch slurry, whisk together equal parts cornstarch and water until smooth. Then, add it to the cheese dip and stir until thickened.

Conclusion:

Cheddar cheese dip is a classic party appetizer that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. It can be served with a variety of dippers, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy snack or a party-perfect dish, cheddar cheese dip is a great option. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of your time, you can have a delicious and satisfying cheese dip that everyone will love.
