Ingredients
- 600 grams Broccoli florets
- 30 grams Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese, grated
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the cream cheese, stirring occasionally, until it is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Stir in the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, continuing to cook until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is thick and creamy. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg, and stir well to combine.
Step 6
Place the broccoli in a baking dish and pour the cheese sauce over the top, making sure the broccoli is well coated.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour and remaining Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli and cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your low-carb broccoli gratin!
