Instructions
- Place broiler rack about 8 inches from the source of heat. Then, preheat conventional oven at 400 F. Spray a medium baking dish with no-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- Place broccoli in a microwave safe bowl with about 6 tablespoon water, cover with a plate, and cook on high for about 3-4 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain! Arrange broccoli into the baking dish.
- Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, milk, salt, and garlic powder until smooth. Mix in bacon and half of the cheddar cheese. Pour mixture over the broccoli.
- Then, sprinkle the other half of the cheddar on top. Bake for 10 minutes or until cheese melts. Next, press the broil button and let broil for about 4-5 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh oregano if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can make this broccoli gratin one day ahead, cover, and place in the fridge until it's time to bake and serve.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 30 days, but be aware that cream cheese sauce may separate and crumble.
- To decrease the chances of this, use a full-fat cream cheese.
- If desired, stir cooked onion and pepper into the cream cheese mixture to make it even tastier.
- This broccoli gratin calls for no flour and, unlike other gratin recipes, doesn't require you make a mornay sauce.
