Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Steam the broccoli florets until they are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream, whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the cream mixture. Stir until the cheese is completely melted.
Season the cheese sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Toss the steamed broccoli with the cheese sauce until well combined, then transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese with the almond flour and remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese to make a topping.
Sprinkle the cheese and almond flour mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-carb broccoli and cheese casserole!
