Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Steam the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes until they are just tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the gluten-free flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and thick.
Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, stirring well.
In a baking dish, arrange the steamed broccoli florets evenly.
Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli, making sure it covers all the florets.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese sauce.
Top with the grated parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free broccoli gratin!
