BROCCOLI GRATIN



Broccoli Gratin image

Provided by Amanda Freitag

Categories     side-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds broccoli, cut into florets
8 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups milk
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup olive oil
Nonstick cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 375 degrees F. Put some ice and cold water in a bowl. Bring a pot of salted water up to a boil. Add the broccoli, cook it for 2 minutes, and then transfer it to the ice water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
  • Put the bacon in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook until crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the bacon, set aside, and reserve the fat in saucepan.
  • Turn the heat to medium-low heat, add the bacon and cook for 1 minute. Add the flour, and cook, whisking, until it starts to smell nutty and is a bit darker, 5 to 7 minutes; this is a roux. Slowly whisk the milk in to create a sauce with gravy-like consistency. Stir in the salt, pepper and nutmeg. Turn the heat to low and stir the Cheddar. Once the cheese has melted, take the saucepan off the heat.
  • Combine the panko and olive oil in a medium bowl. Coat a large baking dish or individual ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. Toss the broccoli with the cheese sauce and bacon. Put the mixture in the baking dish or ramekins, top it with the panko mixture and bake until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.

CREAMY BROCCOLI STEM GRATIN



Creamy Broccoli Stem Gratin image

This creamy casserole is clever and thrifty -- it's the perfect place to add all those broccoli stems that would otherwise be discarded. Invest in a Y-shaped peeler for cleaning up the stems -- it will make the prep go faster.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for buttering the baking dish
1 large clove garlic, minced
1 1/4 pounds Yellow Finn or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6)
2 bunches broccoli stems, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3 cups; see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups grated Gruyere (about 8 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the potatoes, broccoli stems, cream, thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring, until the potatoes have absorbed some of the cream and the mixture thickens slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in 1 cup of the Gruyere.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and shake to distribute the potatoes and broccoli evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup Gruyere. Cover with foil and bake until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes before serving.

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-PARMESAN GRATIN

Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Side     Bake     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Casserole/Gratin     Parmesan     Broccoli     Breadcrumbs     Gourmet     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 4 (main course) or 6 (side dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch broccoli (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 large eggs
1 cup coarse fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in upper third.
  • Cut broccoli florets into 1-inch pieces, then peel large stems with a knife and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Cook broccoli in boiling salted water (2 tablespoon salt for 6 qt water) 5 minutes, then drain.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together milk, cream, cheese, eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
  • Put broccoli in a 2-quart shallow flameproof baking dish, then pour milk mixture over top. Toss bread crumbs with oil and a pinch each of salt and pepper, then sprinkle evenly over gratin.
  • Bake until custard is set, about 30 minutes. Turn on broiler, then broil until bread crumbs are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: For the best results, use fresh, firm broccoli florets that are about 2 inches in size.
  • Trim the broccoli properly: Be sure to remove all of the tough stems from the broccoli florets before cooking them.
  • Steam the broccoli until it is tender: Don't overcook the broccoli, or it will become mushy. Steaming is a great way to cook broccoli because it preserves its nutrients and flavor.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses in this recipe. Cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the gratin: The gratin is done when the top is golden brown and bubbly and the center is heated through.

Conclusion:

Broccoli gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it is also a good source of vitamins and minerals. If you are looking for a tasty and healthy side dish, broccoli gratin is a great option.
