BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKE



Broccoli Cheese Bake image

This is a great casserole that I threw together one day when a friend requested Broccoli au Gratin for her birthday dinner. This is a great idea for those who aren't big fans of bread crumbs. Also, the eggs can be taken out for a great sauce and using skim milk and fat-free cheese works well, too. It's basically a great recipe that can be easily altered according to taste. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh broccoli and cauliflower florets for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Blanch the broccoli and cauliflower florets for just a few minutes, until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make broccoli and cauliflower cheese bake. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots, peas, or zucchini. You can also add different herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve immediately: Broccoli and cauliflower cheese bake is best served immediately after it is baked. The cheese sauce will thicken as it cools, so it's important to serve it while it is still hot and bubbly.
