CREAMY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Creamy Broccoli Casserole image

RECIPE VIDEO ABOVE. This is the broccolli version of Cauliflower Cheese! Tender broccoli smothered in a creamy garlic-parmesan cheese sauce which is pretty much the one I use for everybody's favoure Mac and Cheese. It's nice and saucy, rather than being stodgy and so thick you can cut into it like cake, so there's extra cheese sauce to spoon over once served.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 12

600g / 1.2 lb broccoli florets (, small to medium (2 large heads, Note 1))
60g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves (, minced)
6 tbsp plain flour
2 cups milk (, preferably warm (full or low fat))
1 1/2 cups chicken broth/stock (, preferably warm)
1.5 cups cheddar cheese, freshly grated ((Note 2))
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
20g / 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
  • Mix Topping ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until it smells incredible.
  • Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • While whisking, slowly pour in half the milk. Once fully incorporated, whisk in the remaining milk plus the chicken broth.
  • Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, whisking every now and then and more towards the end, until the sauce thickens so that it coats the back of a wooden spoon and when you draw your finger across it, the path stays (see video).
  • Turn off heat, add cheeses, stir in (don't worry if it doesn't melt fully). Then do a taste test and add a bit of salt if required.
  • Add broccoli and stir well to coat.
  • Pour into a casserole dish, pat down to fill. Sprinkle over Topping, cover with foil then bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for a further 20 minutes until the topping is deep golden and the broccoli is tender.
  • Stand for 5 minutes before serving.

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.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN



Blissed-Out Crispy Cheesy Broccoli Gratin image

Limited surface area. This is the problem with a broccoli gratin made in a casserole-style baking dish, meaning the ratio of crispy-cheesy-crumb-y topping to soft, tender broccoli is just way under optimal balance. With a sheet pan, however, every single morsel of broccoli gets an ample coating of crunch. You know what else is awesome? With a preheated sheet pan (see note), the time it takes to roast the broccoli is minimal-I'm talking 15 minutes, tops, for caramelized edges and florets. Meaning you can hit broccoli bliss in under 20 minutes. Are you in?

Categories     Small Plates     Quick & Easy     Side     Broccoli     Cheddar     Parmesan     Vegetarian     Cheese     Sheet Pan     Kid-Friendly

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds broccoli florets (I like leaving about 1 inch of the stem attached)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Adjust one oven rack to the upper-middle position and another rack to the position. Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the broccoli out onto the hot sheet pan (it should sizzle!) and roast until the bottom of the florets are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the butter and garlic in a ramekin and place it in the oven until the butter melts, 5 minutes. (Alternatively, combine them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power in 15-second increments, swirling between each, until the butter melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
  • Place the bread crumbs in a medium-size bowl, add the butter-garlic mixture, and toss with a fork. Add the Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses and toss to combine.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the broccoli with the cheesy bread crumb mixture. Turn the broiler to high and place the sheet pan on the upper rack. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch the bread crumbs closely as broiler intensities vary and you don't want them to burn). Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter-making sure to scrape up all of the crispy, crunchy cheesy bits-and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Fresh broccoli with tight florets and a deep green color is best for this dish.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Blanch the broccoli florets for just 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère cheeses creates a rich and flavorful sauce. You can also use other types of cheeses, such as mozzarella or fontina.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the broccoli and cheese. If it is too thin, it will not hold its shape when baked.
  • Bake the gratin until it is golden brown: The gratin should be baked until the top is golden brown and bubbly. This will take about 25-30 minutes.

Conclusion:

Three-cheese broccoli gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender-crisp broccoli, and melted cheese, this gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
