• Bake for 20 minutes or until heated through. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with remaining mozzarella. Return to the oven to bake for about 5 more minutes or until melted. Serve with crackers.

SOUTHWESTERN BROCCOLI DIPPERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Prepare a large bowl of ice water. Blanch the broccoli by throwing the florets into the boiling water for 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon, remove the florets to the ice water. When cool, drain and set aside. Keep cool in the fridge.
• To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the green onions and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, whisk to combine and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Pour in the milk and heat until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the grated cheese, cream cheese, chili powder, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Stir to melt. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
• Serve hot as a dipping sauce with the cold broccoli.

Steps:

• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boil. Add the broccoli and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Pat dry. Alternatively, you can drain the broccoli and immediately add to the food processor (just chill the dip before serving).
• Transfer the broccoli to a food processor and add the mayonnaise, milk, parsley, chives, lime juice, dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Pulse to make a smooth dip. Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped dill. Leftover broccoli dip will keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups of dip.)
• Serve with broccoli florets and ridged potato chips.
