Grilled Broccoli With Blue Cheese Recipes

CHEESY GRILLED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Toss broccoli, oil, pepper, garlic powder, and salt together in a bowl. Make sure broccoli is well coated.
• Grill broccoli, turning as needed, until lightly browned and fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate and top with Cheddar cheese and red pepper flakes.

GRILLED BROCCOLI OVER BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the blue cheese dressing: Place heavy cream, 1 1/4 ounces blue cheese, brown sugar, salt, and red-pepper flakes in a medium saucepan; cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until blue cheese is melted. Remove from heat and fold in sour cream and remaining 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese; set aside.
• Make the Rice Krispies topping: In a medium skillet, heat butter and vinaigrette over medium heat until butter is melted. Add crisp rice cereal and toss to coat; cook until cereal is lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Make the grilled broccoli: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place broccoli in a large bowl; add vinaigrette and toss to coat. Place broccoli on grill and cook, turning, until broccoli is charred.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/3 cup blue cheese dressing over medium-low heat until warmed through, reserving any remaining for another use. Spread heated blue-cheese dressing on a serving plate; top with grilled broccoli. Sprinkle Rice Krispies topping over broccoli and serve.

EASY GRILLED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the broccoli and toss to coat. Add salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper and toss to coat again.

BROCCOLI WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until the butter begins to toast the flour, about 3 minutes. Add the rosemary and nutmeg and whisk for 15 seconds to toast. Add the milk. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add the blue cheese and whisk until melted. Set aside over low heat to keep warm.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a bowl of ice water and set aside. Line a tray with paper towels.
• Trim the broccoli stems and break the heads into equal-size florets. Add the broccoli to the boiling water and let cook until bright green and tender but still with a slight resistance when pierced with a knife, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the broccoli to the ice bath for about 10 seconds just to shock and stop the cooking. Using a spider or a slotted spoon, transfer the broccoli from the ice bath to the paper towel-lined tray. Give the tray a good shake to get any excess water off the broccoli. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter together with the olive oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broccoli and toss gently with a wooden spoon or tongs to coat. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the broccoli from the heat and ladle the warmed blue cheese sauce over the top. Garnish with the minced Fresno and freshly ground black pepper.
