Gratin de brocolis par Maredsous (FR)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

gruyère cheese

🥗Healthier: emmental cheese

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Cheddar is more accessible and less expensive.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Wash and cut the broccoli into florets.

Steam the broccoli until just tender, about 5 minutes.

In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, then season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

Remove from heat and mix in gruyère cheese until melted and smooth.

In a baking dish, combine steamed broccoli and cheese sauce, mixing gently to coat.

Sprinkle breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese over the top for a crispy finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
