Ingredients
- 1 cup - Reduced-fat 2% milk
- 3 tbsp. - All-purpose flour
- 4 oz. - Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- A pinch of cayenne (optional)
- 4 cups - Steamed broccoli florets (or about 2 small heads of broccoli)
- 1 sheet - Puff pastry
- 1 egg - Whisked
- Oil mister or cooking spray
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425˚F.
- In a large saucepan, combine the flour and milk on medium heat. Whisk continuously, while bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 3-5 minutes, or until the mixture is thick, continuing to whisk.
- Remove from the heat and add in the cheese (about ¼ cup at a time), whisking well. Season with pepper or cayenne and salt. The mixture should be really thick right now, but don't panic! Adding in the broccoli and baking it will thin out the sauce significantly. Fold in broccoli florets.
- Cut 4 pieces of puff pastry to fit the tops of the ramekins or just simply cut the pastry sheet into 4 equal squares. Cut out an X in the middle of each piece of puff pastry to let it vent out steam.
- Divide your broccoli cheese mixture into 4 ramekins that have been sprayed with an oil mister or cooking spray. Top each ramekin with this puff pastry. Brush the puff pastry with egg wash. Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until the puff pastries turn puffy and golden brown.
Note: To steam broccoli, place them in a steamer basket kept over boiling water. Cover and steam it for around 5 minutes.
