Broccoli Cheese Bake
This broccoli bake is a great casserole I threw together one day when a friend requested broccoli au gratin for her birthday dinner. This is a great idea for those who aren't big fans of bread crumbs. The eggs can be taken out for a terrific sauce; skim milk and fat-free cheese also work well. It's a great recipe that can be easily altered according to taste. Enjoy!
Ingreadient
- 8 cups fresh broccoli
- ½ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups shredded Swiss cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten
Direction
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch boiling water; cover. Cook until tender but still firm, 2 to 6 minutes. Drain.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir until bubbly. Stir in onion, then milk. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat; season with salt and pepper.
- Mix in cheese and eggs until cheese is melted. Add broccoli and stir until combined. Transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 30 minutes.
