Gegratineerde broccoli met Maredsous (NL)

Maredsous cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: gouda

Gouda is more widely available and less expensive than Maredsous.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.

Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until bright green.

Drain the broccoli and immediately transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and add flour to create a roux, stirring for 2-3 minutes.

Gradually whisk in milk and cream, cooking until the sauce thickens and is smooth.

Add minced garlic, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper to the sauce, stirring to combine.

Remove from heat and stir in grated Maredsous cheese until melted and smooth.

In a baking dish, combine the blanched broccoli and cheese sauce, mixing well.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top for a crispy finish.

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

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
