Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Steam the broccoli florets by placing them in a large saucepan with about an inch of water. Cover with a lid, bring to a simmer, and let it steam for about 5 minutes until the broccoli is just tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 3: Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, whisking until the cream cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3 minutes.
Step 4: Add shredded sharp cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to the saucepan. Stir constantly until cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.
Step 5: Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Step 6: Remove the saucepan from heat and add the steamed broccoli to the cheese sauce, stirring gently to coat the broccoli evenly with the sauce.
Step 7: Transfer the creamy, cheesy broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately while warm.
