Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If using broccolini or broccoli florets, make sure they are cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Steam or blanch the broccoli in boiling water for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped chives, mustard, and minced garlic.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Add the cooked broccoli to the mixing bowl with the sour cream mixture.
- Stir gently to ensure all the broccoli pieces are well coated with the mixture.
- Transfer the broccoli and sour cream mixture into a lightly greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the broccoli mixture.
- Follow up by sprinkling the grated parmesan cheese on top.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden brown on top.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp broccolini for the best results. Avoid any that are wilted or have yellowing leaves.
- You can blanch the broccolini briefly in boiling water before baking to retain its vibrant color and ensure even cooking.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for a more intense and rich flavor compared to pre-grated versions.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the mixture before baking.
- Allow the bake to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven; this helps the flavors meld together nicely.
With just a handful of ingredients, the broccolini, sour cream and chive bake is an easy yet flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. Its creamy, cheesy goodness combined with the subtle bite of mustard and the aroma of fresh chives make it a crowd-pleaser.
