THREE-CHEESE BROCCOLI GRATIN

Three-Cheese Broccoli Gratin image

This lovely broccoli dish is delicious as a side with grilled meat. You can experiment with different cheeses like Pecorino Romano or feta cheese and the result will be just as good. A nice way to get kids to eat their vegetables, too.

Ingredients

2 pounds broccoli florets
5 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 cup creme fraiche
1 cup freshly grated Gruyere cheese
1 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook broccoli until tender but firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish with butter.
Meanwhile, combine eggs, milk, creme fraiche, Gruyere cheese, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; whisk together until well combined.
Arrange cooked broccoli in the prepared casserole dish. Cover with egg-cheese mixture and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Bake in the preheated oven until gratin is brown and cheese is melted, about 45 minutes.
