A Warm Broccoli Side Dish Recipe

This is a very simple and quick broccoli side dish. This is one that I adapted long ago and doesn’t require a lot of time to prepare. It serves only two to three people, but you can easily increase the quantities to serve a larger group.

4 cups fresh broccoli, cut up
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
1/3 cup grated Romano or Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup grated Swiss Cheese

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Steam broccoli for 5-10 minutes, until firm but tender. Place in bake dish.

In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and orange juice. Spread the mixture over broccoli, then top with cheeses.

Bake for 12 minutes, brown under the broiler for a couple of minutes, then serve.

Creamy Broccoli Casserole

If you like creamy casseroles, this one should suit you. It will serve 4 to 6 people.

2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 small yellow onion, minced
1 teaspoon Worcestshire sauce
1 tablespoon mustard
6 cups fresh broccoli, cut up
3 hard cooked eggs, sliced
3/4 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Steam broccoli for 5 to 8 mintues until tender crisp.

Meanwhile, melt margarine in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and saute for a few minutes until tender. Reduce heat to low, add flour, cook for 1-2 mintues while stirring. Whisk in milk gradually. Increase heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring constantly until it reaches a boil and thickens. Add salt, white pepper, Worcestshire sauce, and mustard.

Place half of the broccoli in a bake dish and top with half of the egg slices. Pour half of the sauce over the egg, and sprinkle half of the cheese on top. Repeat these layers. Cover the bake dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
