INGREDIENTS
2 bags (700g) broccoli florets, cut into smaller pieces
4 tbsp margarine
4 garlic cloves, minced
6 tbsp cake flour
¾ cup Nestlé Cremora Original
1 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese, freshly grated
Salt & pepper, to season
SERVING SUGGESTION:
1½ tbsp margarine, melted
½ cup plain breadcrumbs
¼ cup hard cheese, grated (optional)
METHOD
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C on fan-assist, ensuring the oven rack is on the lowest level.
2. In a jug, add the Nestlé Cremora Original and 3½ cups of boiling water and whisk until combined. Set aside until needed.
3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of margarine and heat until melted. Add the minced garlic and sauté until just fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually pour in the Cremora mixture and continue whisking to ensure no lumps form. *Chef’s Tip: adding a hot liquid to the roux, ensures the sauce remains lump-free!
4. Continue whisking the sauce for about 1-2 minutes, until it thickens. Remove the saucepan from heat, add the grated cheddar cheese, salt & pepper and whisk until melted and smooth.
5. Place the raw broccoli florets in a large baking dish. Pour the creamy cheese sauce over the top, ensuring the broccoli is evenly coated.
6. In a small bowl, add the melted margarine, breadcrumbs and optional hard cheese and mix until combined. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the broccoli and sauce.
7. Bake for 35 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the topping is golden and crispy. *Chef’s Tip: if using a non-fan-assisted oven, cover with foil and bake for 15 mins, remove foil and bake for a further 20 mins to brown the topping.
8. Allow the bake to rest for 10 minutes before serving and ENJOY!
