Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (2 pound) head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into 1-inch florets
1 pound broccoli florets, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ cup unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon ground pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Add 1 inch of water to a large stockpot fitted with a steamer basket; cover and bring to boil. Add cauliflower florets first, then top with broccoli florets; steam, covered, until slightly tender, about 6 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the pot; set aside. Discard the water and clean the pot.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in the pot over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, until nutty, about 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk, whisking constantly, until simmering. Whisk in cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and salt. Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened and smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low and gradually add Cheddar, whisking until melted after each addition. Remove from heat. Add the broccoli and cauliflower to the sauce and stir to coat. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Microwave the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium microwaveable bowl on High until melted, about 25 seconds. Stir in panko and Parmesan until fully coated; sprinkle evenly over the casserole. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes: Denise Marshall elevates classic broccoli in cheese sauce by using gorgonzola. You can prepare the casserole through step 3 up to 1 day ahead; cover and chill. Uncover and continue with step 4.

Provided by Denise Marshall

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds broccoli
1/4 cup (1/8 lb.) butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups milk
2 packages (3 oz. each) cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese
2 cups 1/2-inch cubes French or other firm white bread (3 oz.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil. Rinse broccoli and trim off and discard tough stem ends; if skin on stalks is tough, peel stalks. Cut broccoli into 1-inch pieces. Add to boiling water and cook just until barely tender when pierced, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Rinse and dry pan. Add 1/4 cup butter to pan and melt over medium heat. Stir in flour and salt until smoothly blended; cook until bubbly, about 1 minute. Add milk and stir over medium-high heat until mixture is boiling and thickened, about 3 minutes. Add cream cheese and gorgonzola; whisk until smoothly blended. Stir in broccoli. Pour into a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole.
  • In a blender or food processor, whirl bread cubes into coarse crumbs; you should have about 1 1/3 cups. In a small bowl, mix crumbs with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over broccoli mixture.
  • Bake until casserole is hot in the center and crumbs are golden, 20 to 30 minutes.
