Ingredients

  • 500 grams Broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 150 milliliters Heavy cream
  • 200 grams Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let cook for about 2-3 minutes until it begins to thicken.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the cheddar cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Add the blanched broccoli to the cheese sauce, mixing gently to coat the broccoli completely in the cheese sauce.

Step 7

Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika, stirring to combine all the flavors.

Step 8

Transfer the broccoli and cheese mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delightful low-carb broccoli cheese dish!
