Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Arrange the blanched broccoli florets in a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the broccoli.
In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese-covered broccoli.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Supreme!
