Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups frozen corn, thawed
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square casserole dish or similar-sized baking dish and set it aside.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden and smells slightly nutty.
Slowly whisk in the milk and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-6 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and onion powder until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked broccoli, thawed corn, and cheese sauce. Stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, olive oil, and grated parmesan cheese until evenly combined. Sprinkle this topping over the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Scalloped Corn Broccoli!
