Crispy Cheesy Baked Broccoli Recipes

CHEESY BAKED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat, melt butter with olive oil. Add broccoli and season with salt and pepper. Cook until bright green and crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Pour heavy cream over broccoli then top with mozzarella, Gruyere, Parmesan and red pepper flakes. Bake until cheese is bubbly and broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes. (If your cheese won't brown, heat under the broiler, 1 minute).
• Serve immediately.

CRISPY CHEESY ROASTED BROCCOLI RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F and set a large, rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack in the oven (while the oven heats).
• While the oven preheats, bring a large pot of water and 1-teaspoon salt to boil.
• While the water heats, rinse and cut the broccoli into florets (they should all be about the same size).
• Fill a large mixing bowl with ice water, and set it next to the stove.
• When the water is boiling, add the broccoli florets, and set the heat to medium-low. Boil the broccoli for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, use a slotted spoon to submerge the broccoli in the ice water to cool for 2 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to a paper towel-lined plate to dry and pat dry with another paper towel.
• In a large bowl, mix together broccoli, olive oil, 1-teaspoon salt and black pepper.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the melted butter, panko crumbs, shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the broccoli mixture evenly over the pan.
• Set the oven to broil and return the pan with the broccoli to the middle rack of the oven.
• Broil the broccoli 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, and
• sprinkle the breadcrumb/cheese mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli.
• Return the broccoli to the oven and broil another 3-5 minutes or until the broccoli is fork-tender and the cheese has melted and is crispy around the edges. Watch closely so the cheese doesn't burn. (**Note: If the cheese is browning too quickly, remove the broccoli from the oven and turn off the broiler. After 1 minute, return the broccoli to the oven and let it finish cooking with residual heat.)
• Serve immediately and...
• Enjoy!

CRISPY CHEESY ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 F degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and set aside.
• To a large mixing bowl, add broccoli florets and olive oil, giving it a toss with your hands to fully coat the broccoli with the oil. Add pepper and salt and toss again to combine.
• Transfer broccoli to prepared baking sheet and bake 8 minutes. While broccoli is baking, combine cheese and panko in a small bowl.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and sprinkle broccoli with cheese/panko mixture. Spray quickly with a little cooking spray and return to oven for 3-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and a bit crispy.
• Can be served from the baking sheet or alternatively, after broccoli is finished with the first 8 minute bake, transfer broccoli to a large casserole dish. Top with cheese/panko and bake 3-5 minutes and serve directly from the dish. Just make sure the casserole dish is oven safe at 500!

CRISPY CHEESY BAKED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk together the egg and milk and set aside. In another bowl, stir together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt.
• Preheat oven to 400 F and prepare a sheet pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
• Dip a floret in the egg mixture and then the almond flour mixture until completely coated.
• Place on the sheet pan and repeat until you used all the florets. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes

CRISPY PARMESAN BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine the broccoli, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the cheese in an even layer followed by the broccoli. Roast until the broccoli is slightly browned and the cheese is golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ranch, sriracha, lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the sauce all over the broccoli.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN

Steps:

• Adjust one oven rack to the upper-middle position and another rack to the position. Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the broccoli out onto the hot sheet pan (it should sizzle!) and roast until the bottom of the florets are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter and garlic in a ramekin and place it in the oven until the butter melts, 5 minutes. (Alternatively, combine them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power in 15-second increments, swirling between each, until the butter melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
• Place the bread crumbs in a medium-size bowl, add the butter-garlic mixture, and toss with a fork. Add the Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses and toss to combine.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the broccoli with the cheesy bread crumb mixture. Turn the broiler to high and place the sheet pan on the upper rack. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch the bread crumbs closely as broiler intensities vary and you don't want them to burn). Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter-making sure to scrape up all of the crispy, crunchy cheesy bits-and serve.

CREAMY BROCCOLI AND CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x12-inch baking dish.
• Place broccoli and onion into a saucepan, pour in water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until broccoli turns bright green and starts to become tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour and 1/4 cup evaporated milk together in a bowl until smooth. Stir remaining evaporated milk and salt into broccoli. Gently stir flour mixture into broccoli mixture and bring to a simmer; cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sharp Cheddar cheese, mixing until cheese has melted into the sauce.
• Cook and stir bread crumbs with butter in a small skillet over medium heat until butter has melted and crumbs begin to give a toasted fragrance, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer broccoli mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle crumbs atop casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and browned, about 30 minutes.
