Categories     side-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus extra at room temperature for greasing the baking dish
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups half-and-half
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a large baking dish with butter and add the broccoli and cauliflower. Roast until slightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, whisk in the flour and let it cook over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn the heat off, whisk in the half-and-half, then turn the heat up to high and keep whisking to avoid the flour from clumping. Add the Cheddar, salt and pepper and whisk until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove the broccoli and cauliflower from the oven and pour the Cheddar mixture over the top. Sprinkle evenly with the breadcrumbs and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for the baking dish
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds broccoli (about 4 heads), cut into small florets (about 8 cups)
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-by-2-inch baking dish or an 8-cup gratin dish.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and nutmeg and bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the white sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper. Remove from the heat.
  • Meanwhile, bring about 1-inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan and set up a collapsible steamer on top. Put the broccoli in the steamer and season with salt. Cover, and steam until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Put the broccoli in the prepared dish, sprinkle with half of the cheese and pour on the sauce. Cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Cover the gratin with the bread crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN



Blissed-Out Crispy Cheesy Broccoli Gratin image

Limited surface area. This is the problem with a broccoli gratin made in a casserole-style baking dish, meaning the ratio of crispy-cheesy-crumb-y topping to soft, tender broccoli is just way under optimal balance. With a sheet pan, however, every single morsel of broccoli gets an ample coating of crunch. You know what else is awesome? With a preheated sheet pan (see note), the time it takes to roast the broccoli is minimal-I'm talking 15 minutes, tops, for caramelized edges and florets. Meaning you can hit broccoli bliss in under 20 minutes. Are you in?

Categories     Small Plates     Quick & Easy     Side     Broccoli     Cheddar     Parmesan     Vegetarian     Cheese     Sheet Pan     Kid-Friendly

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds broccoli florets (I like leaving about 1 inch of the stem attached)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Adjust one oven rack to the upper-middle position and another rack to the position. Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the broccoli out onto the hot sheet pan (it should sizzle!) and roast until the bottom of the florets are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the butter and garlic in a ramekin and place it in the oven until the butter melts, 5 minutes. (Alternatively, combine them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power in 15-second increments, swirling between each, until the butter melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
  • Place the bread crumbs in a medium-size bowl, add the butter-garlic mixture, and toss with a fork. Add the Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses and toss to combine.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the broccoli with the cheesy bread crumb mixture. Turn the broiler to high and place the sheet pan on the upper rack. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch the bread crumbs closely as broiler intensities vary and you don't want them to burn). Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter-making sure to scrape up all of the crispy, crunchy cheesy bits-and serve.

BROCCOLI AU GRATIN (SIMPLE AND EASY!)



Broccoli Au Gratin (Simple and Easy!) image

I think this one is also from Quick Cooking, not sure. Anyway, it is as easy as it is delicious. I do add salt and pepper, by the way. If you like, add 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms cooked in 2 tbsp of butter. You can also add 1 cup cut up cooked ham. Instead of the broccoli you can use frozen asparagus, cut up and make ASPARGUS AU GRATIN instead. Same for coliflower.

BROCCOLI SOUP AU GRATIN



Broccoli Soup au Gratin image

This soup is a delicious way to use broccoli. The recipe needs some tweaking due to the thickness of it and how the cheesy crouton went soggy too quickly - next time I'd use small croutons instead of one big one.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Broccoli Soup Recipes

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 cups vegetable broth, or more to taste
2 pounds broccoli, trimmed
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or more to taste

  • Separate florets from heads of broccoli. Cut large florets in half. Cut stems in half and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add broccoli to simmering broth. Cover and cook until broccoli softens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until broccoli is very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.

CAULIFLOWER BROCCOLI AU GRATIN



Cauliflower Broccoli au Gratin image

I make this recipe as-is when I am cooking for adults, but for kids, I leave the wine out and add more milk or cream, and my daughter loves it. It's a family favorite all around, and a great way to get children eating green vegetables.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds cauliflower florets
2 ½ cups broccoli florets
¼ cup butter
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ cup hot milk
¾ cup dry white wine
1 ¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Bring a pot filled with lightly salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower and broccoli and boil until vegetables are tender but firm to the bite, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste and cook and stir, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in hot milk and continue cooking, whisking constantly, until you have a thick sauce with no lumps, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in wine and bring to a boil. Mix in Parmesan cheese and eggs. Season cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  • Remove from heat and mix sauce into the bowl with drained cauliflower and broccoli. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth out.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until gratin is nicely browned on top, 20 to 25 minutes.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Microwave 8 cups broccoli florets, covered, until just tender, 8 minutes; transfer to a small baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 4 teaspoons flour; cook, whisking, until smooth, 2 minutes. Add 1 1/4 cups milk; season with salt, black pepper and cayenne. Cook, whisking, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Whisk in 2 tablespoons grated pecorino romano. Pour over the broccoli and toss; top with more pecorino. Broil until browned.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Parboil the broccoli: Parboiling helps to tenderize the broccoli and remove some of its bitterness. To parboil, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make a creamy cheese sauce: The cheese sauce is the key to a delicious broccoli gratin. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan. To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted and smooth.
  • Assemble the gratin: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the parboiled broccoli florets in the bottom of the dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli. Top with breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the gratin: Bake the gratin for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Broccoli gratin is a classic dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy cheese sauce, tender broccoli, and crispy breadcrumbs, broccoli gratin is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
