Categories     side-dish

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.

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.

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 AND HAZELNUT SOUP AU GRATIN



Broccoli and Hazelnut Soup Au Gratin image

Yield 10 (1-cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large bunch broccoli
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
6 cups chicken stock
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup roasted, finely chopped hazelnut
2 tablespoons cream sherry
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups grated gruyére cheese, divided
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped hazelnuts, divided

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 4- to 6-quart kettle; sauté onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Cut broccoli into florets and thinly slice tender upper portion of the stems. Add to kettle along with potatoes and chicken stock. Cover and simmer until potatoes and broccoli are tender, about 25 minutes. Purée mixture in several batches in food processor. Return purée to kettle and stir in cream, roasted hazelnuts, sherry, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. Gently heat. To serve, ladle 8-ounce servings into broiler-safe dishes. Sprinkle each with 1/2 ounce grated Gruyére cheese and 1/2 ounce coarsely chopped hazelnuts. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and hazelnuts are browned, about 1 minute. Instead of broiling, you might use a small propane torch to brown the hazelnuts. Fun Fact: Today the two main groups of Eskimos are the Inuit of northern Alaska, Canada, and Greenland, and the Yupik, from western Alaska, South Central Alaska along the Gulf of Alaska coast, and the Russian Far East. A third group, the Aleut, is related. Aleuts are the indigenous people of the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, United States and Kamchatka Krai, Russia.
