TRADITIONAL FRENCH BROCCOLI GRATIN RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 375 F and butter a large gratin dish.
- Sauté onion in olive oil for five minutes in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Sprinkle flour over onions and continue sautéing mixture for 30 seconds. Add salt, pepper, sage, and milk to pan and stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Stir broccoli and cheese into sauce, bring mixture to just a simmer, and turn out into buttered gratin dish.
- Stir together melted butter, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, and sprinkle over gratin. Bake broccoli gratin for 15 to 20 minutes, until hot and bubbly, and bread crumbs have turned golden brown.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN
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?

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.

THREE CHEESE BROCCOLI AND PENNE BAKE
This is another of my family's all time favorite dishes! This recipe calls for an 11 x 7-inch pan, which will feed 3 people easily, I strongly suggest to double up the ingredients and bake it in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan if you are feeding more than 4 people, everyone will want seconds! I have also added in ground turkey that I cook with the garlic before I saute the broccoli, you might have to bake it in a larger baking dish if you are adding in ground turkey. to the mixture also.

Steps:
- Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until onion is soft, about 4 minutes. Mix in dry mustard, then 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, blending well. Add breadcrumbs; sauté until crumbs are crisp and golden, stirring and pressing with back of fork to separate, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; cool completely. Mix in 3/4 cup cheese.
- Cook broccoli florets in large pot of boiling generously salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain. Transfer to paper towels; cool. (Streusel and broccoli can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Place broccoli in large bowl. Add whipping cream, remaining 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1/4 cup cheese; toss to coat evenly. Arrange broccoli in prepared dish. Sprinkle streusel over. Bake until broccoli is heated through and streusel is browned, about 30 minutes.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of different cheeses, such as cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan. You can also add a bit of crumbled bacon or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
- Be sure to cook the broccoli until it is tender, but not mushy. You can steam, boil, or roast the broccoli, depending on your preference.
- If you are using a gratin dish, make sure that it is large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients. You may need to use two gratin dishes if your dish is too small.
- Preheat the oven before baking the gratin. This will help to ensure that the gratin cooks evenly.
- Bake the gratin until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the gratin cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming too runny.
Conclusion:
Three-cheese broccoli gratin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover broccoli, and it is also a great dish to serve to guests. With its creamy sauce, tender broccoli, and crispy cheese topping, this gratin is sure to be a hit.
