Categories     Side Casseroles

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c broccoli flowerets
1/2 c cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 c parmesan cheese
1 dash(es) black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the broccoli for 5-6 minutes; drain and blot dry.
  • 2. Layer half of broccoli in a 2-qt. baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with half the cheddar, half the Parmesan and half the pepper. Repeat.
  • 3. Bake uncovered in a preheated 350º oven for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: For the best texture, select broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellow or wilted florets.
  • Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly.
  • Steam the broccoli before baking: This will help to soften the broccoli and reduce the cooking time in the oven.
  • Use a combination of cheeses: Parmesan and cheddar cheese are a classic combination, but you can also experiment with other cheeses such as Gruyère, fontina, or mozzarella.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be tender but still slightly crisp. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and bland.

Conclusion:

Parmesan broccoli bake is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and it can also be served as a main course. With its creamy cheese sauce, crispy broccoli, and crunchy breadcrumb topping, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or family dinner.
