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.

BROCCOLI BAKE



Broccoli Bake image

This easy broccoli bake with cheddar cheese and breadcrumbs is a creamy broccoli casserole that can be a main dish or a side at Thanksgiving.

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
3/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
5 cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets ((about 1 1/4 pounds))
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cups non-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 cup freshly grated extra sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, deep cast iron (or other ovenproof) skillet. Once melted, pour the butter into a small mixing bowl, then combine with the Panko breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Sprinkle the white whole wheat flour over the top, then whisk constantly for 1 minute, until the butter smells fragrant and the flour turns slightly golden. Very slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, adding a little at a time so that you break up the clumps of flour as you go. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes, allowing the mixture to bubble. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the cheddar until smooth.
  • Add the reserved broccoli, stir to coat, then pat the broccoli into an even layer in the skillet. (Alternatively, if you feel your skillet is not large enough to easily stir in the broccoli without it spilling out, you can combine the two in a separate bowl, then transfer the mixture back into the skillet.)
  • Sprinkle the Panko mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli. Bake until hot and the topping is crisp and light golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. (Tip: For an even crisper topping, place the skillet under your broiler for a few minutes at the end, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn.) Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

CREAMY & SPICY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE



Creamy & Spicy Broccoli Casserole image

The broccoli keeps growing and growing. It's a darn hardy vegetable plant that gives and gives. Once you take the first crown, then the darling plant proceeds to take on many different baby crowns, that are tender, and perfection plus! I really like that a simple, yet, flourishing plant can bring that much enjoyment to our day. I particularly like this recipe, as it can be a whole dinner for us some evenings. Although Dennis does require "meat" at most meals, he could just as happily toddle off with a large scoop of this casserole and a fork, and he proclaims he is in heaven. Just a simple, farming, boastful dish of warmness and total soul comforting veggies. I agree, this is not a skinny dish, but you can make it that way just by changing the fat to low fat and increase the spices. Come'on -- try it, I promise it won't hurt a bit.
