We love going to different farmers markets, so any time we travel we are sure to see if there is one in route. On our latest trip we picked up some fresh broccoli. When I got home I realized that the ways I used to fix Broccoli included processed cheese and cream of chicken soups. After some Internet searching I finally found this recipe. It tasted great and not having the cream of chicken and processed cheese made the dish seem not as heavy. Just a little note though… If you have fresh broccoli steam it in the microwave for a few minutes before adding it to this dish.
Broccoli Gratin
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme
- 8 oz cheddar cheese
- 24 oz frozen broccoli florets, thawed
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
Over medium heat melt butter in a sauce pan. Whisk in flour and cook for a minute to get the raw flour taste out. Slowly add milk and whisk till smooth. Stir in the nutmeg and thyme. Turn off heat and add the shredded cheese. Keep stirring till melted.
Place broccoli in a baking dish and pour the cheese sauce on top. Sprinkle with panko and Parmesan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until it is golden brown.
