Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- If using fresh broccoli, steam the florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain well. Chop the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chopped broccoli to the cheese mixture and stir to combine until the broccoli is well-coated.
- Transfer the broccoli and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the broccoli and cheese.
- Bake the broccoli melt in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve warm as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy!
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
- If you want extra flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or thyme on top.
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and a lower-fat mayonnaise alternative.
