Keto Broccoli with Cheddar Cheese Sauce
Tender, crisp broccoli gets a creamy cheese sauce in this easy, delicious side dish. Use your favorite cheddar cheese or another melting cheese, such as Gruyère or a soft blue cheese, updating the macros accordingly, of course. The sauce is best made and served right away.
Instructions
- Place 1 inch of water in a large pot, and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the broccoli, cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the broccoli is bright green and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the broccoli and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, bring the cream and butter to a simmer on medium-high heat, stirring often, until the mixture slightly reduces and thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in one-quarter of the cheddar cheese at a time, whisking until the mixture is smooth between additions.
- Divide the steamed broccoli among 4 plates, season with salt and pepper, top each with one-quarter of the cheese sauce, and enjoy.
Bombenidee für meinen übrigen Cheddar👌Vielen Dank !
Really, really tasty! Thank you 😉 … how do you keep it from getting watery?
nicht eindecken (Translation: Do not cover)
I added bacon crumbles for additional fat and protein. In my opinion it takes it up a notch and makes it more of a meal than a side dish.
great recipe
Yummy yes but it needs more protein to be a meal
Just made this and it’s delicious! Just as a note, I added in a splash of Worcestershire sauce for a bit of depth. So glad I did, because it gave it a subtle smokey flavor. So good!
Nice idea!
