3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted and more for greasing dish
Kosher salt
1 cup dry orzo pasta
6 cups broccoli florets (about 12 ounces)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 small onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups shredded Havarti
1/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Freshly ground black pepper

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the orzo, stir and cook for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Strain and set aside.
  • Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and flour, whisk together and cook for about 1 minute. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the milk, bring the sauce to a low boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer gently for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add 1 cup of the Havarti, sour cream, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the broccoli and orzo.
  • Transfer the mixture to the buttered casserole dish. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Havarti and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Toss the bread crumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small bowl. Season with salt and spread evenly over the casserole. Bake until brown and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
