BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKE



Broccoli Cheese Bake image

This is a great casserole that I threw together one day when a friend requested Broccoli au Gratin for her birthday dinner. This is a great idea for those who aren't big fans of bread crumbs. Also, the eggs can be taken out for a great sauce and using skim milk and fat-free cheese works well, too. It's basically a great recipe that can be easily altered according to taste. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality broccoli. Fresh broccoli will have a deep green color and firm florets. Avoid broccoli that is wilted or has yellow or brown spots.
  • Blanch the broccoli before baking. Blanching helps to preserve the broccoli's鮮豔的綠色color and prevents it from becoming mushy.
  • Make sure the cheese sauce is thick enough. The cheese sauce should be thick enough to coat the broccoli florets and hold them together. If the sauce is too thin, it will not hold its shape and the casserole will be runny.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. Using a variety of cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, Parmesan, mozzarella, and Gruyère.
  • Add some cooked bacon or sausage to the casserole. Cooked bacon or sausage will add a savory flavor to the casserole. It is also a good way to use up leftover meat.
  • Serve the casserole hot. Crust-Topped Broccoli Cheese Bake is best served hot out of the oven. It can be reheated in the microwave or oven, but it will not be as good as when it is freshly baked.

Conclusion:

Crust-Topped Broccoli Cheese Bake is a delicious and easy-to-make casserole that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables, and it is also a crowd-pleaser at potlucks and parties. With its creamy cheese sauce, crispy crust, and tender broccoli, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
