- Preheat oven to 350°. In a 5- to 6-quart pan over high heat, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil. Rinse broccoli and trim off and discard tough stem ends; if skin on stalks is tough, peel stalks.

- Rinse and dry pan. Add 1/4 cup butter to pan and melt over medium heat. Stir in flour and salt until smoothly blended; cook until bubbly, about 1 minute. Add milk and stir over medium-high heat until mixture is boiling and thickened, about 3 minutes. Add cream cheese and gorgonzola; whisk until smoothly blended. Stir in broccoli. Pour into a shallow 2 1/2- to 3-quart casserole.
- In a blender or food processor, whirl bread cubes into coarse crumbs; you should have about 1 1/3 cups. In a small bowl, mix crumbs with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over broccoli mixture.
- Bake until casserole is hot in the center and crumbs are golden, 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry into a circle that can easily line a 10-inch loose-bottomed tart pan. Line the pan, and trim off the excess pastry. Roll out the next piece to make a thinner top; place this piece on a piece of parchment paper, or a plate. Chill the bottom and top in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Cover the tart bottom with parchment paper, and cover with baking beans. Blind bake for 15 minutes, to a golden, not overly brown color. Remove from the oven, take out parchment and baking beans, and bake for another 5 minutes. Let cool.
- As the shell is baking, cook broccoli florets in a pot of boiling water. The florets should be tender but crisp, approximately 2 minutes. Rinse broccoli under cold water, and let dry.
- Melt butter in a pan, and saute leeks on a low heat for 10 minutes, so they soften but don't color. Add mustard, cream, water, chives and a few cracks of black pepper. Stir to incorporate, and remove from heat.
- Assembly: Spread the leek and cream mixture over the bottom of the tart. Spread the broccoli on top. Add the Gorgonzola. Brush the rim of the tart pan with the egg, and then place the pastry top over the filling. Press and seal the tart, and cut off any excess pastry. Glaze the top with the beaten egg and bake for 30 minutes (you're looking for a golden brown top.) Take out of the over and cool for 3-5 minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips:
- For a creamy sauce, use heavy cream or half-and-half instead of milk.
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce for extra flavor.
- If you don't have broccoli on hand, you can substitute another vegetable, such as cauliflower, zucchini, or asparagus.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it and bake it for 30 minutes. Then, let it cool completely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the casserole in a 350°F oven until it's heated through.
- Serve the casserole with a side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
