Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated parmesan cheese
- 2 pound frozen broccoli (or fresh broccoli cut into bite-size pieces)
- 3 cup homemade parmesan sauce (page 53) or store- bought alfredo sauce
- 2 cup scallions, thinly sliced
- 1/3 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or 1/2 cup panko or fresh bread crumbs seasoned with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of italian rub, page 118)
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Heat the oven to 375°F.
Mix the cheeses together in a small bowl.
Mix together the broccoli, Parmesan sauce, scallions, and salt in a large bowl.
Transfer the broccoli mixture to a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and top with an even layer of the cheese, followed by the bread crumbs.
Bake until the center of the casserole is bubbling and the top is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes before serving.
Tips:
Buying fresh vegetables trimmed and prepped saves you time, but always costs you money (and cuts down significantly on their shelf life as well).
To save both time and money, trim and cut up a whole head of broccoli or cauliflower, or a pound of mushrooms, beans, etc.
Use half right away, and the rest later in the week.
