CHEESY BROCCOLI & STUFFING CASSEROLE



Cheesy Broccoli & Stuffing Casserole image

This is really quick and SIMPLE "make ahead" dish for a holiday meal. The stuffing gives it a nice crunch on the top. Even though we used the "less fat" directions to make this dish, I think it was still full of great flavor. I also chose to use a "roasted garlic" flavor of stuffing mix, since that was the only one that did not contain chicken or turkey flavorings.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
12 ounces wild mushrooms, sliced
2 scallions, sliced (white and green parts separated)
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup brandy (optional)
6 large eggs
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
1 clove garlic, grated
12 cups 3/4-inch cubes stale crusty white bread (about 14 ounces)
1 1/4 cups grated fontina cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 1/4 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Push the mushrooms to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, then add the scallion whites, shallot, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the shallot is softened, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully add the brandy. Return to the heat and cook until the pan is dry, about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
  • Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, chicken broth, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the bread cubes, mushroom mixture, 1 cup each fontina and cheddar, the scallion greens and parsley. Let sit 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.

CHEESY STUFFING



Cheesy Stuffing image

Someone told me how to make this when I first moved out of home. It's a yummy way to dress up plain stuffing. I personally don't like to put the stuffing inside the chicken, so I bake it in balls,or bake it in a small casserole dish and slice it afterwards, but you can use it to actually stuff the bird if you want.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of bread: For a more flavorful stuffing, use a combination of white and whole wheat bread, cornbread, or even sourdough. You can also use a combination of fresh and dried bread.
  • Toast the bread: Toasting the bread before you add it to the stuffing will help it absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables before you add them to the stuffing will help them soften and release their flavors. You can use a variety of vegetables, such as celery, onion, carrots, and bell peppers.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, sage, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to your stuffing. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey: If you overstuff the turkey, the stuffing will not cook properly. Aim to fill the turkey loosely, leaving about 1/2 to 1 inch of space at the top.
  • Bake the stuffing separately: If you're worried about the stuffing not cooking properly inside the turkey, you can bake it separately in a casserole dish. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

Cheesy stuffing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish with a variety of meals. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful dish, give cheesy stuffing a try!
