About Broccoli in cheese sauce

Broccoli in Cheese Sauce is a classic side dish often found in Western cuisine, particularly in American comfort food traditions. It combines steamed broccoli florets with a creamy cheese sauce typically made from milk, butter, flour, and melted cheddar or similar cheeses. This dish pairs the nutrient-rich benefits of broccoli—such as fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and antioxidants—with the indulgence of a luxurious cheese topping. While broccoli stands out as a heart-healthy and low-calorie vegetable, the cheese sauce can be calorie-dense and high in saturated fat depending on the preparation method. For a healthier twist, low-fat cheese and milk alternatives can be used. Broccoli in Cheese Sauce is beloved for its vibrant color, creamy texture, and rich flavor, making it a favorite for holiday feasts and everyday meals alike.
