Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
ground black pepper
8 cups broccoli florets
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumb

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Use 1 tablespoon butter to butter a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish.
  • Steam broccoli until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
  • Add the milk, salt, and nutmeg and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the white sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with pepper.
  • Put the broccoli in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and pour on the white sauce. Cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet. Add the bread crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly browned.
  • Cover the gratin with the breadcrumbs. Bake at 450 for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned and bubbly.
