A creamy and cheesy broccoli casserole that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the flour to create a roux.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth consistency.
Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens.
Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Stir in the cream cheese and blue cheese until melted and smooth.
Ensure the cheeses are fully melted for a creamy sauce.
Add the broccoli to the cheese sauce and mix well to coat.
Use fresh or steamed broccoli for the best texture.
Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
For extra flavor, mix breadcrumbs with a bit of melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your cheesy broccoli bake!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
