How To Make broccoli au gratin

  • 1

    In a large pot, bring water and salt to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli and cook until it is crisp tender, about 5 minutes.
  • 3
    In a small sauce pan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to form a roux. Turn heat down to low.
  • 4
    Drain the broccoli, reserving 1 cup of the water.
  • 5
    Whisk the reserved water into the roux and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the nutmeg, pepper, ¾ cup Parmesan cheese and all of the Monterey Jack cheese.
  • 6
    Place the broccoli in a shallow baking dish. Pour cheese sauce over and top with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and the Panko bread crumbs.
  • 7
    Bake for 15 minutes at 350°F and broil on low for about 5 minutes until browned on top. Serve immediately.
