#114: Streusel-Crusted Broccoli Florets

Yes I am a dork and joined the Cooking Club of America.  Go ahead, I'll pause for ridicule......

Anyhow, I get a cooking club magazine (which I love!) and this was one of the recipes from it.  My girls (especially Chloe!) and I loved this one.  Chloe even finished the pan!  I forgot about this in the oven, and it got a little over done.  Doesn't matter, it still tasted good!!  The picture above is the recipe halved.
2 lb. broccoli florets (about 10 cups)


1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup unseasoned dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Cook broccoli in large pot of boiling salted water 3 minutes. Drain; cool under cold running water. Drain well.

2. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat; cook until deep brown but not burnt, stirring occasionally and watching carefully. Remove from heat; immediately stir in bread crumbs. Cool briefly. Stir in all remaining ingredients.

3. Arrange oven rack in upper third of oven. Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 13x9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with cooking spray. Place broccoli in dish; sprinkle with bread crumb mixture.

4. Bake in upper third of oven 15 minutes or until topping is browned and crisp and broccoli is crisp-tender.  10 (about 3/4-cup) servings
