Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 75 grams Fresh breadcrumbs
- 2 Hard-boiled eggs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the broccoli, cutting it into evenly sized florets.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch for 3-4 minutes, or until bright green and just tender. Drain well and set aside.
Peel the hard-boiled eggs and finely grate them using a box grater or microplane. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted and slightly bubbling, add the breadcrumbs and toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant.
Remove the skillet from the heat and season the breadcrumb mixture with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
Arrange the steamed broccoli on a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grated hard-boiled eggs evenly over the broccoli.
Spoon the buttery breadcrumb mixture over the broccoli and eggs, ensuring even coverage.
Garnish the dish with finely chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm as an elegant side dish.
