Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 300 grams frozen or canned sweet corn (drained if canned)
• 60 grams unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters whole milk
• 150 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 100 grams cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 50 grams parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden, forming a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps, and cook until the sauce thickens (approximately 3-4 minutes).

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the blanched broccoli and sweet corn to the cheese sauce, mixing to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Corn Bake!
