Recipie: Cheesy Baked Broccoli

[Guest guest]

Ingredients

4 cups chopped fresh broccoli

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

2 tablespoons water

1 1/2 cup egg substitute

1 cup fat-free milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

 

 

 

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.

In a nonstick skillet, combine the broccoli, onion and water. Saute over

medium-high heat until the vegetables are tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. Keep

adding water to prevent the vegetables from drying out, but use as little

water as possible. Drain and set aside when the broccoli is done.

In a bowl, combine the egg substitute, milk and 3/4 cup cheese. Add in the

broccoli mixture and pepper. Stir to mix well.

Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Set the baking dish into a

large pan filled with about 1 inch of water. Bake uncovered until a knife

inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven

and top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Let stand about 10 minutes

before serving

A delicious thought! This should set beautifully and look lovely on the table.

May I suggest

however that you probably meant, considering you have designated fat-free milk,

to

designate at least low-fat cheese rather than cheddar for this recipe?? Am I

right????

Thought so. (One cup of shredded cheddar, with 9 g. fat per 1/4 cup, is awfully

high to be

teamed with a lovely slimming veggie like broccoli.) Would it also be possible

to use less

cheese and to, say, top with a mix of wholewheat crumbs and just a little

cheese?

 

Best love, Pat
