Broccoli Cheese Custard Recipes

BROCCOLI CUSTARD

Steps:

• steam or boil broccoli until tender, yet crispy.
• Drain and then dry broccoli with paper towels.
• Coarsely chop and place in a buttered 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
• Scatter cheese on top of broccoli.
• Mix the eggs, milk, butter, and seasonings together in a medium bowl.
• Pour custard over broccoli and cheese, and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes.

BAKED BROCCOLI CUSTARDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss broccoli with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer and roast, turning once, until golden and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add milk, whisking until mixture just comes to a simmer. Gently simmer, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened slightly, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano, nutmeg, and 1/2 cup Gruyere. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide broccoli among six 8-ounce gratin dishes. Pour cream mixture over vegetables. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Gruyere.
• Place gratin dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until bubbly and golden brown in spots, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

QUICK AND SIMPLE BROCCOLI AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Place broccoli in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a microwave safe casserole dish.
• Pour melted butter over broccoli (use more or less, to taste) and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle cheese over the top and microwave, on high, for 1 minute, or until cheese is melted.

AWESOME BROCCOLI-CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together condensed soup, mayonnaise, egg and onions.
• Place frozen broccoli into a very large mixing bowl. (I like to use my large stainless steel bowl to mix this recipe thoroughly.) Break up the frozen broccoli. Using a rubber spatula, scrape soup-mayonnaise mixture on top of broccoli, and mix well. Sprinkle on cheese, and mix well. Spread mixture into prepared baking dish, and smooth top of casserole. Season with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

IMPOSSIBLE BROCCOLI PIE

Steps:

• Thaw broccoli crowns in a 9" pie plate, layer with onions and then cheese.
• In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, Bisquix and pepper, beat together well.
• Pour mixture over broccoli in a spiral motion (otherwise it may take too long to cook in the middle).
• Bake for 25-35 minutes at 400F (a knife poked into the middle should come out clean).
