Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality broccoli. Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid broccoli that is yellowing or has brown spots.
  • Cut the broccoli into small florets. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Steam the broccoli until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking will make the broccoli mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good choices for broccoli cheese custard.
  • Grate the cheese finely. This will help it melt evenly into the custard.
  • Use whole eggs and milk for the custard. This will give the custard a rich, creamy texture.
  • Season the custard with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. This will add flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Bake the custard in a water bath. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from curdling.
  • Let the custard cool slightly before serving. This will help it set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheese custard is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is a great way to use up leftover broccoli and cheese, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. With its creamy texture and cheesy flavor, broccoli cheese custard is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
