How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then grease a medium casserole dish.

  • Step 2: Steam broccoli florets until firm-tender (about 2-3 minutes) drain well then pat dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

  • Step 4: Add in the flour and stir for 1 minute.

  • Step 5: Add cream cheese, blue cheese and milk or light cream; stir over low heat until melted and smooth then stir in the broccoli florets.

  • Step 6: In a bowl combine the cracker crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted butter until well combined.

  • Step 7: Remove 1 cup of the cracker mixture then stir into the broccoli mixture.

  • Step 8: Season with black pepper.

  • Step 9: Transfer mixture into a casserole dish.

  • Step 10: Cover with foil or a lid and bake for 15 minutes.

  • Step 11: Remove from oven then sprinkle the top with the remaining cracker crumbs.

  • Step 12: Return to oven and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes.

  • Step 13: Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
