Tips and Tricks
Mixing the Sauce
Whisk the broth, milk, flour, salt, and cayenne pepper together thoroughly before heating. This ensures the flour dissolves completely, preventing lumps from forming in the sauce.
Cooking the Sauce
Stir the sauce constantly while it’s cooking. This helps it thicken evenly and prevents it from sticking to the bottom of the pan or burning.
Roasting Broccoli
Roast the broccoli until it’s slightly crispy and browned. This adds a deeper flavor to the dish and complements the creamy sauce.
Incorporating Broccoli and Scallions
Add the roasted broccoli and scallions just before the sauce finishes cooking. This keeps the broccoli from becoming too soft and the scallions fresh and vibrant.
Melting Cheese
Remove the saucepan from heat before adding the cheddar cheese. Stirring in the cheese off the heat ensures it melts smoothly into the sauce without becoming gritty.
Adjusting Heat
For a spicier kick, add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, use just a small pinch or omit it entirely.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this creamy broccoli dish as a side with grilled chicken or fish, or mix it with cooked pasta for a quick and easy main dish.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or broth if the sauce has thickened too much.
