Cooking Mode Disabled

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix the cream, cheeses, and season with salt and pepper.

  2. If you're using fresh broccoli steam them for 2 minutes so they soften a bit.

  3. In a baking dish mix the broccoli and the cheese mixture. Bake at 350F/180C for 20-25 minutes or until golden. 

Tips

  • Use fresh broccoli. Fresh broccoli will have a better flavor and texture than frozen broccoli.
  • Cook the broccoli until it is tender but still slightly crisp. If you overcook the broccoli, it will become mushy.
  • Don't overbake the casserole. If you overbake the casserole, the top will become browned and crusty.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to blend and the sauce to thicken.
  • You can add other vegetables to the casserole, such as cauliflower, carrots, or onions.
  • If you are looking for a healthier option, you can use low-fat or fat-free ingredients.
  • You can also make the casserole ahead of time and then bake it just before serving.
