Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh broccoli florets
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 200 grams Shredded cheddar cheese
- 60 grams Sour cream
- 60 milliliters Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 30 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
- 10 milliliters Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch them for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green but still crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and milk. Stir constantly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
In the greased baking dish, layer the blanched broccoli. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top, ensuring all the broccoli is well-coated.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the broccoli and cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
