Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 7

Arrange the blanched broccoli florets in a baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the broccoli.

Step 8

In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the cheese-covered broccoli.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Broccoli Supreme!
