Ingredients

• 500 g broccoli florets

• 50 g parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 50 g gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Steam the broccoli florets for about 5 minutes until they are just tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the gluten-free flour and stir constantly for about 2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and thick.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the milk, and continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from heat and stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, stirring well.

Step 6

In a baking dish, arrange the steamed broccoli florets evenly.

Step 7

Pour the cheese sauce over the broccoli, making sure it covers all the florets.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs with olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cheese sauce.

Step 9

Top with the grated parmesan cheese.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free broccoli gratin!
