Broccoli au Gratin

[heart_this] · Dec 20, 2007 · 5 Comments

Broccoli Gratin

“Broccoli and Cheese” is a dish that my mother often makes for holiday dinners. Since I will not get the chance to have hers this holiday season, I thought that I would try making it myself. Unfortunately I was not able to get the recipe from her before I made it and I had to pull it from memory. Broccoli is one of my favorite vegetables and I happily eat it plain, but melted cheese makes almost anything better! It turned out pretty good. The crisp croutons and almond slivers add a nice crunchy contrast to the soft broccoli and cheese. Overall this makes a pretty simple and tasty side dish. When I get the chance I will have to see how close I got the recipe.

    It looks delicious Kevin!!
    Answering your question about dill, yes, chopped dill freeze very good, then you just have to scoop out a little bit whenever you need! 🙂
